Huskies Place Lone Player on Men's Preseason All-Pac-12 Teams

This University of Washington basketball rebuild is going to take some time. 

On Wednesday, the Pac-12 released its men's preseason all-conference teams in advance of media day activities in San Francisco — and just one Husky, Stanford transfer Daejon Davis, appeared among the top 21 players, as an honorable mention selection.

Davis is a 6-foot-3 guard and graduate senior who spent the past four years with the Cardinal trying to beat the UW.  A Seattle native, he's one of seven newcomers brought in to help the hometown program recover from a disastrous 5-21 season.

Two years ago, Davis was singled out as a preseason second-team All-Pac-12 selection for Stanford, and, in his first season with the Cardinal, he was named the league's all-freshman team. 

He comes to the Huskies after making 97 starts in 103 games for Stanford, averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per outing.

Returning national runner-up UCLA has the most players receiving all-league accolades with four, with returning guards Tyger Campbell, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Johnny Juzang each receiving first-team selections, and incoming freshman forward Peyton Watson drawing honorable mention. 

Oregon counts three players among this top 21, with guard Will Richardson as a a first-teamer and forward Quincy Guerrier and guard De'Vion Harmon as second-team picks.

The Huskies will play an exhibition against Central Washington at 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 4, and open the season at home against Northern Illinois the following Tuesday, also at 7.
