Junior forward Nick Richards was named to the NABC All-District 20 First Team, sophomore guard Immanuel Quickley made the NABC All-District 20 Second Team and John Calipari was tabbed the NABC District 20 Coach of the Year.

A full list of their awards to this point is below.

In addition to Quickley, Anthony Edwards (Georgia), Samir Doughty (Auburn), Kira Lewis Jr. (Alabama) and Isaac Okoro (Auburn) rounded out the NABC All-District Second Team.
