Utah men’s basketball’s Branden Carlson earned his second NABC All-District selection in as many years.
KANSAS CITY – Utah men's basketball center Branden Carlson continues to earn national recognition, garnering NABC Second-Team All-District honors the National Association of Basketball Coaches announced on Tuesday.
Â
Carlson is just the third member of the Runnin' Utes to earn multiple all-district honors, joining Luke Nevill (2007 & 2009) and Delon Wright (2014-15). The South Jordan native was a first-team honoree last season.
Â
In total this season so far, Carlson has been named First-Team All-Pac-12, Associated Press Second-Team All-Pac-12 and the Governor's State of Sports Male Collegiate Athlete of the Year.
Â
Through 32 games this season, Carlson is averaging 17.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 blocks while leading the Runnin' Utes in all but the assists category. The 7-footer is also shooting 49-percent on the year with a .374 clip from 3-point range. He also leads the country in 3-point field-goals made by players 7-foot or taller with 58 triples on the season.
Â
In his final season of the Pac-12, Carlson averaged 17.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 assists to pace the Utes while shooting .480 from the field. He also registered 30-plus points in three league games – including a league-best 40 points against Oregon State on the road after scoring 30 points the game before.
Â
The program's leader in blockers (234) and games played (142), Carlson heads into Tuesday's first-round NIT game with 1,825 career points, 822 rebounds, 164 assists and 44 steals. He is the only player in Pac-12 Conference history to have at least 1,500 points, 700 rebounds, 100 assists and 200 blocks.
