Barrett, Williamson Named on Naismith Midseason Team

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke freshmen RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson have been selected to the 2019 Citizen Naismith Trophy Midseason Team, which was announced this week by the Atlanta Tipoff Club.

Duke holds the record for most Naismith trophies with seven. Barrett, who took home the Naismith High School Trophy, is looking to become the second men’s player to win both the high school and college trophies, joining former Blue Devil Shane Battier. Battier won the Naismith High School trophy in 1997 and Naismith College Player of the Year in 2001.
