Cheatham and Dort become just the third and fourth Sun Devils to earn a spot on the All-Defense team since it was created in 2007-08. Jordan Bachynski (2013-14 Defensive Player of the Year along with 2012-13 selection) did it twice along with Carrick Felix in 2012-13.

Dort is the Sun Devils' fifth recipient of the Conference's Freshman of the Year award joining Byron Scott (1979-80), Jamal Faulkner (1990-91), Ike Diogu (2002-03) and Jahii Carson (2012-13). He also joins Arizona's Deandre Ayton (2017-18) and Oregon's Jordan Bell (2014-15) as freshmen to be named to the All-Defensive Team, further joining Ayton as the only rookies to also earn All-Conference recognition.

The imposing 6-4 guard from Montreal leads all Pac-12 rookies and ranks in the top 10 in the league in scoring (9th, 16.2 ppg) and steals (T-5th, 1.6 spg) while ranking third on the Sun Devils in rebounding (4.5 rpg) and assists (2.4 apg).
Dort burst onto the national scene in November with tournament MVP honors at the MGM Grand Main Event, in which he led ASU past Mississippi State and Utah State and was named NCAA.com National Player of the Week, before helping the Sun Devils to their best Pac-12 regular season in nine years (12-6) and the No. 2 seed for the Pac-12 Tournament.
