FAIRFAX, Va. – George Mason University men's basketball guard Justin Kier has added to his list of impressive 2018-19 achievements, as the junior has been named to the NABC All-District 4 Second Team.
 
He is joined on the team by the Atlantic 10's Charlie Brown (Saint Joseph's), Obi Toppin (Dayton), Jacob Gilyard (Richmond) and Josh Cunningham (Dayton). The first team is comprised of Jon Axel Gudmundsson (Davidson), Marcus Evans (VCU), Courtney Stockard (St. Bonaventure), Javon Bess (Saint Louis) and Kellan Grady (Davidson).
 
The 2019 Atlantic 10 Chris Daniels Most Improved Player and a Second Team All-Atlantic 10 selection, Kier put together a superb all-around season for the Patriots in 2018-19.
 
In conference play, Kier led the Patriots in scoring (14.2 ppg) and rebounding (7.6 rpg, 7th in A-10) and was second in 3-point field goal percentage (.383), assists per game (2.8) and steals per game (1.2). He tallied a team-high seven double-doubles on the year. Kier earned A-10 Player of the Week accolades on Jan. 14 and Jan. 21.
 
In the Atlantic 10 Tournament, Kier averaged an impressive 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and shot 54.8 percent from the floor over the Patriots' two contests.
 
On the year, Kier improved significantly in nearly every major statistical category from last season, including scoring (13.9 ppg vs. 11.0), rebounding (6.5 rpg vs. 4.6 rpg), field goal percentage (.464 vs. .451), 3-point field goal percentage (.375 vs. .174), assists (2.5 apg vs. 2.3 apg) and steals (1.6 spg vs. 1.3).
 
It's the third-straight year that a Mason player has been named to an NABC All-District Team after the Patriots did not have a selection from 2014-16. Marquise Moore garnered all-district first team accolades in 2016-17, while Otis Livingston II earned second team honors in 2017-18.
