Wow. He deserves that preseason All-American pick without a doubt, just made his third game-winning shot to beat FSU.

Thats a homer call.
Yeah i wouldn't go that far with him being in a pre-season all american without a doubt. This coming from a die-hard UNC fan.

He has been clutch in certain spots this season. I contribute that to him getting better and better every game. He had a ton of hype out the gate and imo the pressure got to him early in the season. Hopefully we continue to play well and advance in the tourney.
Huge game coming up Sat. The ACC title on the line. As it should be with the two best programs in the conference. Let's hope we show up to play.
Only one freshman should be an All American this year. Jared Sullinger.
Stripes is right, Sullinger is only frosh to deserve AA award.
No frosh (or big really) has played as consistently and well as Sullinger has.
AA team will be Nolan Smith, Jimmer, Marcus Morris, Sullinger, and Dwight Hardy IMO
PPG APG 3Pt% Reb Blocks Steals Min
Barnes 13.9 1.4 32.1 5.6 0.4 0.6 27.9
Sullinger 17.1 1.3 27.3 9.8 0.5 1 31.1
Singler 17.4 1.4 32.1 5.6 0.4 1 34.5
Marcus Morris 17.1 1.5 35.9 6.9 0.7 0.8 27.2
Gilbert Brown 11.1 2.8 40.2 4.3 0.3 0.5 27.5
JaJuan Johnson 20.5 1 32.6 8 2.4 0.9 35.1
There are the stats for fowards of the top 5 teams and Barnes. Just on the numbers Johnson has the best case for AA. I left BYU out since they kicked their forward off the team.
I would replace Morris with Johnson on Biggins list. Kemba Walker looked like a shoe in early in the season, but he has cooled off some. I could see him or Hardy making it with Hardy playing better late in the year.
uhhhh you guys know Derrick Williams will be player of the year and likely the #1 draft pick, right?
oops...meant to put one of the finalists for POY
Theres no way Williams wins the POY award over Ferdette. Williams may be the number one pick, its not a slam dunk and depends on the draft order, but he is bad to not show up in some games and doesnt get the publicity out west.
You could replace Morris with Williams, but its not as if its a total obvious choice. Morris averages 17 ppg and 7 rebounds for a top ranked team while DW gets 19 ppg and 8 rpg for a mid level team.
I had actually forgotten about Williams to be honest, he is a better pick
my team;
Jimmer
Sullinger
Williams
Nolan Smith
Dwight Hardy
