Top 40 Players of the ACC: No. 35-31

35. Mfon Udofia, Georgia Tech- From his sophomore to junior year, the Yellow Jacket guard has seen his points (10.0 from 6.7), rebounds (3.6 from 2.1) and assists (2.5 from 1.2) improve drastically this year. Udofia has taken on more of a leadership roll this year and continues to adjust to life as a point guard. More naturally a scorer, Udofia is working on the transformation.

34. Jontel Evans, Virginia- The pesty point guard has been taking over games for Virginia whenever Mike Scott takes a rest or gets in foul trouble. The 5-11 junior looks small on the court but his defense (1.7 spg) and leadership on the court go a long way.

33. Milton Jennings, Clemson- One of the most talented players in the conference, coach Brad Brownell has continued to say Jennings just needs to work on his mental game. The junior has improved his points (9.5) and rebounds (5.4) just slightly this year, but has also made his presence felt on the defensive end (1.0 bpg). If the lanky forward can keep his off-court problems away from the team he could put himself on an all-conference team next year.

32. Malcolm Grant, Miami- Grant and fellow guard Durand Scott have put themselves out there as the mental leaders for the Hurricanes. Grant has played steadily over his three years since transferring from Villanova, averaging 12 point, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds during his Hurrican career. A trip to the NCAAs would be the icing on the cake.

31. Matt Humphrey, Boston College- The transfer from Oregon is arguably the most important transfer in the ACC this year. The junior guard likes to jack up the three (5.6 3PA/g) but also leads the Eagles in scoring (10.4 ppg). Humphrey will continue to be a key piece for Boston College, especially on the offensive side, next year.
