The Pac-12 released their all-conference teams on Tuesday, one day before the start of the conference tournament in Las Vegas, and Oregon Ducks senior guard Will Richardson was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team.
It was an extremely up-and-down final year in Eugene for Richardson, who at times looked like one of the best players in the conference while leading this team to a season sweep of UCLA, but also disappearing in big games, which cost Oregon significantly down the stretch and has them on the outside looking in for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Still, Richardson averaged 14.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 30 games (all starts) this season, while shooting 45.4% from the field and scoring in double-digits in 22 games with seven 20-point games.
Richardson was twice named conference player of the week in January when Dana Altman’s team was absolutely rolling, but he struggled last week in losses to Washington and Washington State, and is now questionable for Oregon’s first round game against Oregon State on Wednesday with concussion like symptoms.
Richardson was Oregon’s only representative during Pac-12 award season. Arizona was the big winner, with Benn Mathurin taking home Player of the Year, while Christian Koloko was the Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player.
Tommy Lloyd was also named the John Wooden Coach of the Year, while Pelle Larson was Sixth Man of the Year.
