^ Jackie Manuel must be Gumby - look at his right arm

I wonder what happened to that guy - NBDL? Europe? Gay strip club dancer?

Redick and Caner-Medley will be on ESPN's "I Can't Believe Those Guys are Still in College" team.

pretty good list

I'd say maybe Bethel instead of Atsur

Bethel could get honorable mention, but I don't think there's much of a shot of him being listed as one of the top 15. He's not going to put up a lot of points or even a lot of assists relative to other points.

Atsur, on the other hand, is a stat stuffer. He shoots for a great percentage, gets a lot of assists, and will be among the league leaders in assist to turnover ratio. Right now, he's averaging about as many steals as turnovers, which is just crazy. If we have a good season, I think he's no doubt all-ACC.
