Pair are the 27th and 28th Tigers Named to All-District List
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Memphis forwards Shaq Goodwin and Dedric Lawson have been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District 25 team. This season marks the eighth time since 1998 where two or more Tiger players were named All-District during the same year.
Goodwin, who was also named All-District after the 2014 season, becomes the sixth player in program history to earn multiple All-District honors in a career. For the season he averaged 14.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game - second-most on the team - while leading the team with 61 blocked shots. He ends his playing career with 1,440 points - 14th-most in program history, 852 rebounds - 9th-most in program history, and 197 blocked shots - 7th-most in Memphis history.
He became just the third player in Memphis basketball history to score over 1,400 points, pull down over 800 rebounds, and block over 195 shots. He reached double-figure scoring 22 times during the year, including a career-high 35 points against UCF on January 26, that included an American Athletic Conference-record 15 made field goals. In his career he has had games of 22 and 19 rebounds, which rank in a tie for first and third in AAC history in each.Â
Lawson, who was named the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year, All-American Athletic Conference Second Team, and 2016 AAC All-Tournament Team, set an AAC record by being named the Conference Rookie of the Week six times, breaking the previous record of four. He led the Tigers in scoring (15.8 points per game) and rebounding (9.3 rebounds per game). His block total (55) and steals total (39) are second-most on the team.
Lawson had 17 double-doubles on the season, which tied the school freshman school record with Keith Lee. He finished the season with the fourth-highest double-double total of any freshman in NCAA Division I, and his rebounding total of 307 rebounds is the third-most single-season rebounds by a freshman in Memphis history.
