Sophomore Trent Lockett (Golden Valley, Minn.) has earned 2010-11 second-team All-Pac-10 honors from the league's coaches. It marks the second Pac-10 honor for the Hopkins High School (Minnetonka, Minn.) product, as he earned All-Pac-10 Freshman Team honors last season.
The league selects a 10-man first team and a five-man second team. Senior Ty Abbott earned honorable mention honors as well.
Lockett has played and started in 28 of 30 games and is second on the team in minutes per game (30.8) and leads the Sun Devils in scoring at 13.1 points per game. He is shooting over 50 percent from the field (136-of-271/.502) and also is averaging 5.3 rebounds per game, second on the squad.
He had a then career-high 22 points in the season opener at New Mexico (Nov. 16) where two of his dunks placed him No. 2 on SportsCenter's Top-10 and then topped that with a career-high 24 points vs. Weber State on Nov. 26 in Alaska.
A +6.4 increase in his scoring average from his freshman season last year is the best from the first year to the second year by a Sun Devil since Jeremy Veal went from 7.4 in 1994-95 to 18.9 in 1995-96 (+11.5).
Lockett also had 20 points at Washington on Jan. 22 and then had 20 in 71-69 Washington State win on Feb. 19.
A student in Barrett, the Honors College, Lockett has 29 career double-figure scoring games and is 7-of-15 (.467) from the three-point stripe after starting the season 2-of-13.
He becomes the fourth Sun Devil to earn All-Pac-10 honors under Herb Sendek, joining Abbott (first-team in 2009-10), James Harden (first team in 2007-08 and 2008-09), and Jeff Pendergraph (2007-08 third-team and 2008-09 first-team).
