Shooting guard

Starter: Darin Green, Jr. (30 mpg)

Green was the Seminoles’ best and most prolific three-point shooter last season, knocking down almost 100 bombs at a 36.4% clip. He’ll form a potent backcourt combo with Spears, who didn’t have anyone with Green’s shooting prowess playing alongside him at Georgetown last year.

Much like Spears, Green spent a lot of time on the court last season, averaging 34 minutes per game, and it doesn’t appear that will change too drastically, though Josh Nickelberry could earn more playing time as the season goes on.

Reserve: Josh Nickelberry (10 mpg)

As a team, Florida State shot only 33% from three last year, while ranking near the bottom of the country in three-point defense. That needs to change, and that’s where Josh Nickelberry comes in. The graduate transfer was a sniper last season, pouring in over 40% of his shots from distance on nearly 200 attempts.

Nickelberry improved as the season went on, shooting a blistering 45.1% from three in conference play. He’ll be Green’s primary backup but should earn additional minutes in three-guard lineups, as well. On a side note, this won’t be Nickelberry’s first time in the ACC, as he spent his first two college seasons at Louisville.
