With the off-season upon us I thought we would look at each ACC team and throw out some random thoughts about each school. I thought we would start at the top of the ACC and go from there. Keep it flame free and maybe even get some of the fans from the other schools to weigh in. It doesn't have to be all Bball related but that should be focus.
FSU (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1994), CL (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1925), GT (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1832), VT (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1718), BC (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1608), MD (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1483), UVA (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1331), and UNC (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1252) were previously looked at.
Lets take a look at NCS:
Ben McCauley was honorable mention All-ACC, while Brandon Costner was on the All-freshman team.
Engin Astur (6-3) was the only senior but was an instrumental part of the team (11.3 PPG, 4.2 APG).
NCS had 8 players play 10 or more MPG last season but relied on their top 5 (Costner, Grant, McCauley, Fells, and Astur) more than any other team in the ACC.
As a freshman, Brandon Costner (6-8) led the team in scoring (16.8 PPG) and rebounding (7.3 RPG), while making 61 3-pointers (38%).
Courtney Fells (6-5, JR) led the team in blocks (28) and steals (40), which is a combination that you don't see often and tells us that he is quite the athlete.
NCS finished last season at 20-16 overall and 5-11 in the ACC.
NCS had more TOs than assists (535-523) and were outrebounded by their opponents (1209-1157), leading to a positve scoring differential of 0.2 points per game over their opponenets.
Recruits JJ Hickson (#16, 6-8) and Tracy Smith (#38, 6-7) were in the RSCI recruiting rankings with Tracy Smith moving up 47 spots since their last rankings (85).
JJ Hickson looked good in the MCDonalds All-star game and appears to have great athletiscm, length, and motor.
The Wolfpack also signed Javier Gonzalez (6-0) and Johnny Thomas (6-5) for next season.
Lowe and his red jacket recieved a one year contract extension for taking a depleted Wolfpack team farther than anyone thought they would go.
In football, Tom O'brien left Boston College for NCS in a lateral move? BC was happy to see him go and NCS was happy to see Amato go? Talk about addition by subtraction.
