The top 15 NCDA players in the East Coast made the 2018 All-East coast list. Kris was ranked 2nd in the East Coast even though his team only played in a few tournaments, due to not have enough players to compete. With the #1 ranked player in the East Coast graduating, that opens up the spot for anyone.
