Sophomore guard Devin Vassell, senior wing Trent Forrest and junior guard M.J. Walker led the charge on offense this season for the Seminoles. Vassell broke out in Year 2 with the Seminoles, averaging 12.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game as a starter.

He put up a career-high 27 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field and 7-of-7 shooting from 3-point land in a 74-63 victory against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Feb. 3. He finished as a second-team All-ACC selection.

Forrest was another second-team All-ACC selection after putting up 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.9 steals per game in his senior season. He was a consistent scorer, playmaker and defender in the rotation for Florida State as they ran through the ACC. Forrest also made the All-ACC All-Defensive team.

Walker finished putting up 10.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game for the Seminoles as the third option in the rotation. He should see his role grow next season after earning All-ACC Honorable Mention honors.

The biggest surprise of the season was Sixth Man of the Year and All-ACC All-Freshman selection, Patrick Williams. The 6-foot-8 freshman produced 9.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest in his first season in the rotation. He’ll be a breakout performer to watch in the next few seasons after coming on strong towards the end of the year.
