in on 34

I was just thinking the other day how freaking crazy good the ACC is this year in terms of talented players. There are a ton of players in the ACC this year that would start for nearly any team in the country, especially some of the guards.

McClinton
Teague
Lawson
Rice
Douglas

All of those guys would start for most of the teams in the Big 6 conferences. Hell I don't think anyone on any team would start over Lawson or McClinton fwiw.

There are also a lot of good 4/5 guys in the league. I think the 3 is the only spot where the ACC is lacking. Henderson is most definitely the best SF in the conference. Al-Farouq Aminu plays the 3 and is listed as a SF but is truly a PF. Wake just needs to put him on the floor though. Kind of like how Costner is currently playing the 3 for us, even though he's more of a PF.

#9 Indiana - Jeff Teague - Wake Forest
#11 New York - Gani Lawal - Georgia Tech
#13 New Jersey - Gerald Henderson - Duke
#22 New Orleans - Ty Lawson - North Carolina (I don't see how he's not higher, or even the first or second PG taken. I have seen him as high as 13 though)
#27 Orlando - Tyler Hansbrough - North Carolina
#29 Minnesota - James Johnson - Wake Forest
Rd. 2
#43 New Jersey - Tyrese Rice - Boston College
#44 Phoenix - Brandon Costner - North Carolina State (would Costner be able to Run & Gun? I'm not too sure about this projection.)
#47 Philadelphia - Danny Green - North Carolina

We want UNC to beat Maryland right. I mean it'd help us out in the standings right? I mean this is one of those rare chances that I don't care if UNC wins or not.

2/21/2009 5:04:20 PM

2/21/2009 5:08:00 PM

I know most people on here hated JJ, but don't tell me you'd rather see Taylor Hansbrough's name atop the scoring list

2/21/2009 5:19:55 PM

i hated jj on duke, he is my favorite college player of all time as much as i hate duke still

2/21/2009 5:21:46 PM

2/21/2009 5:25:25 PM

Roy might have to apologize to the media again

2/21/2009 5:29:08 PM

that foul on hansbrough was hilarious........i mean i loved it, but that was great

2/21/2009 5:29:59 PM

I predict a huge bad call in favor of unc coming up.

HOLY CRAP that was exciting. I hate umd but good grief the rbc center would've fallen down if that happened at home in raleigh. That was crazy.

way to choke away a great opportunity with missed free throws, awful defense and piss-poor shot selection. DAMNIT

2/21/2009 5:37:43 PM

lawson is fucking good

2/21/2009 5:39:02 PM

this is a win-win for us anyway, if they beat UNC, they beat UNC

if UNC pulls it out, coupled with our win, we've tied Maryland in the conference standings
