Strangely, we are 4th in the country in effective height according to KenPom. 2nd in the ACC behind only UNC. However, this is due primarily to being 16th at C and 2nd at PF from the combo of Miles, Mason and Ryan that get most of the minutes there. We are 174th, 153rd and 105th at SF, SG and PG, respectively. So you are correct that we are short in the backcourt.
