The ACC unveiled the 2021-22 awards for players and coaches Monday. Wake Forest guard Alondes Williams was named ACC player of the year, while Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes was named ACC coach of the year.
Williams, a 6-foot-5 transfer from Oklahoma, averaged 19.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in his first season with the Demon Deacons. The 56-year-old Forbes is in his second season at Wake Forest. After going 6-16, with a 3-15 mark in ACC play last season, Forbes loaded up on transfer and turned the Deacs around. Wake Forest finished with a 23-8 record — 13-7 in the ACC.
