INDIANAPOLIS (USBWA) – The U.S. Basketball Writers Association has released its 2019-20 Men's All-District Teams, based on voting from its national membership of 900-plus. The USBWA has selected All-District teams since the 1956-57 season, its founding year. Arizona freshman forward Zeke Nnaji was named to the All-District IX team after leading the Pac-12 in double-doubles and rebounds per game in conference play. Overall, he averaged 16.1 points and 8.6 rebounds for the season and was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.

For each of the nine geographic districts, ten players are selected as well as a player and coach of the year. Twenty-four Division I conferences are represented among the 90 players honored by the USBWA. The ACC and Big Ten, each with 11 all-district players, lead all conferences, followed by the SEC with 10. The Big 12, Big East and Pac-12 each have eight players chosen to the various teams. The district players and coaches of the year each come from nine different conferences and there are no repeat selections this season.
