Florida State (14-6, 6-2 ACC) at Georgia Tech (16-7, 6-3 ACC)


Georgia Tech was down last year but right back up again this season, Paul Hewitt is a damn good coach and they seem to be in the upper half of the league with some regularity.

TEAM: FSU|GT
OVR: 89|90
OFF: 88|91
DEF: 90|88
SHT: 89|95
REB: 93|91
COA: 86|95

at first glance Tech looks a lot like us... lots of talent but no huge superstars. One junior and 4 underclassmen starting. Perhaps the Yellow Jackets will be our main competition over the next two years as we both become extremely talented, experienced teams.

Tech's 3 losses are to NC State, UNC, and Clemson. They have wins over Boston College and Maryland.

Scouting

PG Dainmon Horner – JR – 80 OVR – 94 speed but just 85 quickness. 82 defense, just C+ for a PG, 85 steals is very good. 84 hands/86 passing, both solid. 81 close/75 med/78 3/77 off the dribble. An average scorer, 7.1 ppg/3.8 apg so far this year.

SG Femi Shavies – FR – 80 OVR – 85 speed/85 quickness. 77 defense looks like quite the liability. 87 close/77 med/83 3/80 off the dribble. A good scorer and good 3 point shooter, 11.7 ppg. Hopefully we can exploit him on the defensive end though.

SF Jibran Grizzard – SO – 85 OVR – A 5* recruit two years ago, 6'7” natural SF. 85 speed/79 quickness. 82 defense/79 steals, solid for a SF. 74 blocks, a solid shot blocker as well. 91 close/82 med/76 3/89 in traffic. 91 vert, not so great strength or hustle. 7.3 ppg, a solid starter who can hurt us from all over, but who does best inside for sure.

PF Immanuel Bing – SO – 80 OVR – 6'9” PF – 84 orb/83 drb. 83 post off/76 post def. 94 close/86 in traffic. 9 ppg/5.6 rpg. Very solid post ratings.

C Aly Richards – SO – 84 OVR – 6'7” PF- 85 orb/87 drb. 84 post off/80 post def. 98 close/90 in traffic. 98?? That's A+ worthy of course. He's also got an 87 clutch rating, one of the highest i've eve seen. 8 ppg/6.5 rpg. This guy looks incredible. Solid athlete, poor offensive awareness, good defensive awareness. Richards was the best freshman in the ACC last year.

Backup SF Idong Hendricks is rated 84 OVR and looks an awful lot like Grizzard. He actually scores more, 12.6 ppg. They have solid depth and look pretty damn good overall. I'm worried about Grizzard and Richards hurting us badly. I'm also worried about Shavies shooting ability, and the fact that they have two solid post players that might negate our inside game.

(table too big, next post)
