15. Erick Green, Virginia Tech- The 6-4, 185 pound point guard has always had tremendous potential and this year he has shown it off unlike ever before. He is leading the Hokies in points (15.6) and assists (2.8) while putting up a stifling 45.8% mark on field goals. Green is going to have the ball in all clutch situations for Tech and look for him to make his mark as one of the best in the conference next year.
14. Kenny Kadji, Miami- For his size (6-11, 245), Kadji does an incredible job of finding an outside shot. His stroke looks like a guard's and his interior defense has shut down some of the best big men in the conference. After transferring from Florida, Kadji has flourished in this Miami offense. One might think that the return of Reggie Johnson may take away from Kadji's numbers, but instead it has opened up his outside game.
13. Reggie Johnson, Miami- Johnson still claims that he "is about 70%" but he is showing how dominant he can be at times. By far the biggest body in the ACC (6-10, 284), Johnson uses his shoulders to clear space in order to garner his team leading 7.1 rpg. Johnson has been questioned mostly on his stamina, and with his size this remains a problem. However, as he showed in his 27 point, 12 rebound performance at Duke, sometimes it does not matter.
12. CJ Harris, Wake Forest- An unquestioned scorer (16.9 ppg), Harris has been the brightest spot in an abysmal year for the Deacons. Harris shoots an incredible 48.6% on field goals and has put together an all-conference type of year. Going into his senior year, Harris has to look to better himself at finding teammates but a bright future is ahead for the guard.
11. CJ Leslie, NC State- Leslie may have the most talent out of anyone on the Wolfpack roster. He has the ability to score (13.0 ppg), rebound (6.7 rpg) and block shots (1.9 bpg). A true athlete, the 6-8, 209 pound forward is playing as a small power forward. Leslie has the ability to stretch the defense to 15 feet and play above the rim. For Leslie, the future depends on his ability to handle the ball better and be able to maneuver around slower defenders.
