CHARLOTTE — Virginia men’s basketball player Malcolm Brogdon was named ACC preseason co-player of the year in voting among media, the conference announced this afternoon at its annual media day.
The 6-foot-5 redshirt senior guard was selected first-team all-ACC last season as well as second-team all-American after helping the Cavaliers capture the conference’s regular season title and win 30 games, tying a school record, in consecutive seasons. Brodgon led Virginia in scoring (14 points per game) last season and finished second in assists and three-pointers made.

Also in media voting, the Cavaliers were picked to finish second this season behind North Carolina.
