Five of Duke's 11 picks named were repeat selections, with four earning this praise for the second straight season. Tre Hornbuckle garnered his second acknowledgement as well after being selected to the team in 2017.
Â
Michael Carter II, Rakavius Chambers, Quentin Harris and Marquis Waters are the four Blue Devils who received their second consecutive Academic All-ACC accolade. Duke's first-time picks were Zach Baker, Scott Bracey, Noah Gray, Casey Holman, AJ Reed, and Aaron Young.
