INDIANAPOLIS – Nova Southeastern University adds two D2CCA All-Americans and its second-consecutive Ron Lenz Men’s Basketball National Player of the Year.
Nova Southeastern University senior guard Dallas Graziani is the 2025-26 Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) Ron Lenz Men’s Basketball National Player of the Year and headlines the Men’s Basketball All-America Teams as selected by the NCAA Division II Sports Information Directors Association (D2SIDA).
It is the second consecutive year a Nova Southeastern student-athlete has been named the D2CCA Ron Lenz Men’s Basketball National Player of the Year after MJ Iraldi won it last season. He is also just the third Shark to ever win the award joining Iraldi and Sekou Sylla who won the award in the 2021-22 season.
Ross Reeves also collects his flowers from the D2CCA, earning Second Team D2CCA All-American honors. Reeves scored 23.1 points-per-game this season in blue and white, shooting over 50 percent from the field.
Graziani, who is also a First Team D2CCA All-American, was the D2CCA South Region Player of the Year after earning Sunshine State Conference Player and Defensive Player of the Year honors.
The Pembroke Pines, Florida, product enters the NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Championship’s Elite Eight, leading all Division II ball handlers with a 3.56 assist-to-turnover ratio. Graziani ranks fifth in Division II with 6.3 assists per game and is 20th with 2.4 steals per game. He is also averaging 20.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the floor and 34.0 percent from three-point range for the Sharks.
He and Reeves enter the Elite Eight as the best dynamic duo in the country as no other school in the land put two players on the D2CCA All-America teams.
Reeves has already created an expansive resume for his graduate season having already been named to the NABC All-South District team, All-South Region Tournament Team, All-SSC First Team and adds D2CCA All-American to his accolades.
