DALLAS – Players from five different schools are represented on the 2020-21 All-Conference USA men's basketball first team, featuring two seniors, two juniors and one sophomore. North Texas guard Javion Hamlet and UTSA guard Jhivvan Jackson are the two seniors and both players are first team selections for the second straight season.  Marshall guard Taevion Kinsey and WKU center Charles Bassey represent the first team juniors, while Charlotte guard Jahmir Young is the lone sophomore on the first team unit. Voting on the awards was done by the C-USA head coaches and media members in each conference city.

Guard play was instrumental throughout the league again this season and that is reflected by that position taking 11 of the 15 spots on the first, second and third team All-Conference squads. Overall, 10 different schools placed at least one player on at least one of the three units, with five producing two honorees. The group is compiled of seven seniors, four juniors, three sophomores and one freshman.
