INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) released its 2022-23 men's basketball all-district teams on Tuesday, following voting from its national membership.
 
North Dakota State's Grant Nelson was selected to the All-District Team in District VI, which includes every Division I school in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
 
Nelson becomes just the second Bison to earn the USBWA All-District honor, joining Ben Woodside in 2009. Only 90 total players are honored as All-District by the USBWA each season – 10 players from nine geographic districts.
 
In 21 games against league opponents this season, Nelson averaged 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks, shooting 54 percent overall. He led NDSU in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals for the season, and was the only player in The Summit League's top 11 for all five of those stat categories.
