Rakeem Christmas named 3rd team All-American by Associated Press

Former Syracuse forward Rakeem Christmas was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press on Monday afternoon.

He is joined on the AP’s third team by Gonzaga’s Kyle Wiltjer and Kevin Pangos, Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield and Iowa State’s Georges Niang.

Christmas received the same honor from Sporting News earlier this month. He led the Orange, averaging 17.5 points and 9.1 rebounds and ranked third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in each category.

Christmas is projected to be a second-round pick in the NBA Draft this summer.
