Full List of NABC All-District Teams
FAIRFAX, Va. - George Mason University men's basketball junior guard
Otis Livingston II has been named to the NABC District 4 Second Team, the National Association of Basketball Coaches announced on Tuesday morning.
The award is the second major honor in as many weeks for Livingston II, as the Linden, N.J., product also was tabbed to the All-Atlantic 10 Second Team on Mar. 6.
It's the second-straight year that a Mason player has been named to an NABC All-District Team after the Patriots did not have a selection from 2014-16.
Marquise Moore also garnered all-district accolades in 2016-17.
The District 4 Second Team, in addition to Livingston II, is comprised of Luwane Pipkins (Massachusetts), E.C. Matthews (Rhode Island), B.J. Johnson (La Salle) and Josh Cunningham (Dayton).
The first team includes Jared Terrell (Rhode Island), Justin Tillman (VCU), Peyton Aldridge (Davidson), Jaylen Adams (St. Bonaventure) and Matt Mobley (St. Bonaventure).
Livingston II took his all-around game to the next level as a junior in 2017-18.
In Atlantic 10 play, he improved in nearly every statistical category compared to last season. Those stats include scoring (19.8 ppg vs. 13.7 ppg), assists (4.7 vs. 2.8), 3-point field goal percentage (.411 vs. 299) and field goal percentage (.458 vs. .379).
In overall games, those numbers also have improved dramatically, including in scoring (17.3 ppg vs. 14.3 ppg), assists (4.4 vs. 3.0), 3-point field goal percentage (.382 vs. .336) and field goal percentage (.436 vs. .414).
Livingston II provided a consistently dominant scoring presence throughout the A-10 slate for the Green & Gold. He posted double at least 10 points in 16 of 18 league games and tallied 20+ points in 11 games. He also notched 30+ points in a pair of league tilts.
During his outstanding junior campaign, Livingston II has also worked his way up the Mason record books. He's now one of just four players in school history to post at least 1400 points and 350 assists in a career.
Behind Livingston II's strong play, Mason exceeded expectations in the regular season for the second-straight campaign under head coach
Dave Paulsen. Picked to finish 10th, the Patriots place fifth in the league after recording a 9-9 mark in A-10 play. It marked the biggest positive differential between preseason prediction and postseason finish of any team in the Atlantic 10.
In 2016-17, the Patriots were picked 12th and ultimately finished seventh.
