ACC Basketball: Top Players From Each Team This Century, Part 2

Virginia Tech

Starting Five: Zabian Dowdell, Malcolm Delaney, Bryant Matthews, Erick Green, A.D. Vassallo

Bench: Jeff Allen, Jamon Gordon, Deron Washington

MVP: Green was better in his best season, but Delaney earns the nod for sustained greatness for the mediocre Hokies.

There were very slim pickings after the first four.

Wake Forest

Starting Five: Chris Paul, Justin Gray, Josh Howard, Jeff Teague, Al-Farouq Aminu

Bench: John Collins, Darius Songaila, Eric Williams, James Johnson, Ishmael Smith, C.J. Harris, Vytas Danelius

MVP: Howard was a very good player who turned into a great player his senior season, but Paul was explosive from day one and throughout both of his seasons.

I really like the balance of this group, although the strength certainly comes from the guard position.
