AUGUSTA, Ga. – USCA men's basketball standouts Jalen McCoy, Davion Cunningham and Simeon German have been honored by the PBC.

McCoy picked up first-team accolades while Cunningham garnered third-team honors. German was named the PBC Defensive Player of the Year for his effort.

McCoy, a fifth-year standout from Raleigh, N.C., is the program's Division II career leader for points (1,708). The three-time all-PBC selection accounts for 19.8 points per game (third in the PBC) while he is sixth for field goal percentage (53.1 percent). McCoy averages 5.8 rebounds a game, which is tied for 11^th in the PBC. This season, he has five 30-plus point games to his credit and has reached at least 20 points 14 times. 

Cunningham, a junior from Charlotte, N.C., is second on the team with his 14.6 points per game (14^th in the PBC). He accounts for 5.6 rebounds per outing (14^th in the PBC). Cunningham erupted for a season-best 31 points at Lander and pulled down a season-high 11 rebounds in the win over the Bearcats. Cunningham recorded a season-high six steals in the win over Catawba. He's hit 46.3 percent of his field goals this season. 

German, a senior from Lagos, Nigeria, leads the PBC with 1.7 blocks per night. His 44 blocks on the year also top the rankings for PBC student-athletes. German swatted a season-high five shots against Fayetteville State. He's had 14 mutli-block games, including five with at least three. The standout has been a force in the lane, altering nearly every shot in the paint. He also pulls down 8.3 rebounds a night, which is third in the PBC. 

It marked the third time USCA has had a Defensive Player of the Year. Alvin Brown won the award for the 2010-11 and 2013-14 seasons.
