No team has more than 4 players other than Duke. And we have 7. Kansas has 4. Kentucky has 4. UNC has 4.
The biggest surprise to me is that ACC-Preseason-Player-of-the-Year-Nate-Britt didn't crack the top 10. He's not even ranked! /sarcasm
Marques may have more potential, but I feel confident that Amile will have a greater impact this year. If not, that would be awfully impressive for the young freshman.
“Those two kids, they’re champions,” Krzyzewski said of his senior leaders. “They’re trying to teach the other kids how to become that, and it’s a long road to become that.”
