ACC Basketball: Way-Too-Early preseason power rankings for 2019-20
5. Florida State Seminoles
The Florida State Seminoles made a deep run in the NCAA Tournament this past season under Leonard Hamilton and with some key player returning, they’re set to do it once again next season.
Trent Forrest will have to step up as will Devin Vassell and M.J. Walker but they’ve got a solid number of prospects joining the team as well. Forrest averaged 9.3 points, 4.5rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game. Vassell was a solid sharpshooter off the bench, shooting 41.9 percent on the season.
The Seminoles have four players incoming in their 2019 class, including two four-star prospects and a top junior college prospect from some top programs in the nation. They’re losing Mfiondu Kabengele to the NBA Draft, but they shouldn’t have any trouble finding their depth once again in 2019-20.
Look for Florida State to be an NCAA Tournament squad once again next year. They’ll be a deep team once again, only with better offensive options.
