ACC Player of the Year and first-team All-American Malcolm Brogdon has been phenomenal throughout the 2015-16 season, leading Virginia to a 26-7 record and runner-up in the ACC Tournament.

Head Coach Tony Bennett’s senior guard has done a little bit of everything this year. Except score. That, he’s done a lot of. He’s also shown himself to be a good rebounding guard, a capable passer and a reliable shooter from the floor and the free-throw line.

After earning the ACC’s second 1-seed in 2016, Virginia looks to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. They’ll be leaning heavily on their senior leader to provide the offensive and defensive intensity that he has all season long.
