With their selections, the Demon Deacons earned two NABC All-District selections in the same season for the first time since 2010.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Wake Forest men's basketball senior guards Hunter Sallis and Cameron Hildreth have earned National Association of Basketball Coaches All-South Atlantic District selections, as announced by the organization on Tuesday. Sallis earned a first-team selection while Hildreth was named to the second-team. 

The NABC introduced a new model for its Division I district alignment this season, with schools arranged by state rather than by conference. The modernized NABC Division I district alignment features 10 geographic regions that each encompass multiple states. Every Division I school in each given state belongs to that state's corresponding district.

With their honors, the Demon Deacons earned two NABC All-District selections in the same season for the first time since 2010 (Al-Farouq Aminu and Ish Smith). 

Additionally, this is the 10th time in program history that Wake Forest has had multiple players named to the NABC All-District Teams.
