Barry Jacobs, front page

[johnb]

For those who generally skip the front page on the way to the forum, Barry Jacobs has a fun piece on shooting stats.

For those who aren’t longtime Duke fans, he has written in all sorts of media (in addition to working within/for his NC community). I first heard of him through his annual guide to the ACC, which was a pre-internet source of granular info and perspective that changed how I watched basketball. Here’s a story on his Orange County retirement: https://www.newsoforange.com/news/ar...d7f27440c.html

Thanks Johnb. I thoroughly enjoyed that article.

Barry Jacobs’ current front page article lists 4 ACC players that were drafted in the second round.

Shouldn’t Chris Carrawell (2000 ACC POY, 41st pick of the 200 draft) be the fifth player on the list?

“ACC POYs picked in the second round are scarce enough. Only four were selected that low, most recently Duke’s Tre Jones in 2020. He was the No. 41 pick last year. Not exactly a testament to the NBA regard commanded by those deemed the ACC’s best/most important performers over the past two seasons.“
