KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Auburn basketball's Samir Doughty and Isaac Okoro were voted to the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-District 20 Second Team, the organization announced Monday.

Doughty became one of the most improved players in the Southeastern Conference, raising his scoring average from 7.3 points per game as a junior to 16.7 points per contest as a senior. He is the fourth guard to average 16 or more points per game in a season under head coach Bruce Pearl at Auburn.

The Philadelphia, Pa. native had 11 20-point games in 2019-20 after the senior entered the season with just two 20-point efforts in 75 career games. He racked up 14 games in double figures during league action and led the team in scoring in 15 times.

Doughty finished third in conference in free throws made (148) and attempted (193).

Okoro burst onto the scene as a freshman in a senior-laden lineup. He was one of just seven freshmen in the SEC to average double figures during the 2019-20 campaign at 12.9 points per game.

Okoro's 51.4 field goal percentage ranked inside the top 15 nationally among freshmen and was the highest field goal percentage of any freshman with at least 15 made 3-pointers.

The Powder Springs, Ga. native was one of just three players in the SEC to average 12 points per game with at least 25 steals and 25 blocks on the year, joining John Fulkerson (Tennessee) and Reggie Perry (Mississippi State).
