20. Glen Rice, Jr., Georgia Tech- In all reality the best player and prospect on this Georgia Tech team, Rice needs to improve on consistency and his headiness. His numbers (13 ppg, 6.7 rpg) continue to rise year to year but there have been stretches where he seems lost, not sure whether to depend on his shot or his natural ability. Certainly a prop prospect you can see his dad's genes coming out at times from deep.
19. Lorenzo Brown, NC State- What a difference a new coach can make. The minute Mark Gottfried got to Raleigh he decided Brown was going to be his point guard, skyrocketing his numbers (12.1 ppg, 6.6 apg, 4.3 rpg). Not only that but Brown has turned into a leader for this squad, calling out the plays and pushing through hard times when others look down. Brown has a natural build to be a two guard with the offensive skills of a point guard.
18. Seth Curry, Duke- When you think of Duke's players this year it's hard to pick out one that has been consistently good. Curry is the closest to that fit, coming on more so in recent games. He started off the season as the point guard but, like his brother Stephen, needs to be able to find his own shot. An underrated driver, Curry has unquestioned ability from deep and is getting better on defense.
17. Durand Scott, Miami- When you talk about consistent players for teams, Scott leaps off the page for his Miami squad. The junior leads his team in minutes (34.2) while posting solid numbers (12.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 3.3 apg). Scott is slowing becoming a leader for the Hurricanes and should show up on next year's preseason all-conference team. A bulky 205 pounds, the shooting guard continues to impress on defense, as well.
16. Andre Young, Clemson- Without Young, Clemson would be by far the worst team in the conference. A 5-9 senior, the leader of the Tigers plays as if he were 6-5. A strong, quick defender, Young also leads his team in scoring (13.6) and assists (3.3). If there was an award for toughness given out, Young would be in the lead right now. This is the kind of guy that Clemson is going to miss going forward.
