LAFAYETTE – Freshman Cameron Thomas led a trio of LSU Tigers on the first team as the 2020-21 Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) Men's College Basketball Team was announced on Tuesday by the organization.

The 18-member team was selected after nominations by the state's sports information directors and voted on by a panel of the state SIDs and media members.

Thomas claimed a pair of specialty honors as he became the first player since former LSU standout Ben Simmons in 2016 to claim both Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year honors.
