Top 10 returning ACC Basketball Players?

Perry Misner at ProFantasySports has come up with an interesting list:

10. F Kyle Singler*, Duke Blue Devils
9. G Jack McClinton, Miami Hurricanes
8. G Toney Douglas, Florida State Seminoles
7. F/C James Mays, Clemson Tigers
6. G/F Gavin Grant, North Carolina State Wolfpack
5. G Tywon Lawson, North Carolina Tar Heels
4. F Brandon Costner, North Carolina State Wolfpack
3. G Tyrese Rice, Boston College Eagles
2. G Sean Singletary, Virginia Cavaliers
1. F/C Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina Tar Heels

Lots of details and opinions in his full story.

I'm not sure I'd agree with this list, but haven't put a lot of thought into it yet. The Wolfpack is sure getting a lot of love. As much as I love James Mays and Gavin Grant, you have to wonder if this is a really down year coming for the ACC if these guys are that high.

Mays May Make Move

Mays puts his name in, but doesn't hire agent.

Clemson junior forward James Mays has filed the necessary paperwork to make himself available for the 2007 NBA Draft, Head Coach Oliver Purnell announced Wednesday. Mays has not signed with an agent, thus leaving the option of returning to school open. The deadline for underclassmen to withdraw from draft consideration is June 18. The NBA Draft will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 28.

"James had been leaning toward this decision," Purnell said. "I'll help him get as much information as possible. Certainly, it should be something he should strongly consider if he's going to be a first-round selection."

The 6'9" Mays was a second-team All-District selection and honorable mention All-ACC performer this past season while helping the Tigers to a 25-11 overall record. He averaged 12.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. He also established Clemson single-season records for assists (95) and steals (69) by a frontcourt player.

"I feel this is an opportunity for me to explore my options," Mays said. "This will give me a chance to evaluate where I stand as a player. If I don't do as well as I hope to, by not signing with an agent, I will have a great opportunity to remain at Clemson and finish my college career." More...
