Also considered:

Greivis Vasquez, Justin Jackson (UNC), Marcus Paige, Shane Larkin, De’Andre Hunter, Grayson Allen, Tyler Zeller, Erick Green, Luke Maye, Jerome Robinson, Jerian Grant, Malcom Delaney, and a slew of Duke one-and-dones.

My biggest takeaway from this is that Brogdon has the best resume of any ACC player this decade, which is a little surprising. I still don’t understand how he didn’t get drafted in the first round.

Zion was the obvious one-and-done choice here considering he was maybe the most mind-blowing freshman in NCAA history.

The next three spots were heavily debated amongst the committee (me). The four guards (Berry, both Smith’s, and Guy) were nearly inseparable and all contributed to national championship teams, so I broke rules right off the bat and included all four.
