Scoring Is A Necessity But Not Necessarily A Path To NBA Greatness

If you can score well in the ACC, chances are good you’ll be convinced you can do likewise in the NBA.

This hasn’t necessarily proven true.

Clearly convinced of their offensive worth, four of the last six players who entered a season as the ACC’s top returning scorer left school before their eligibility expired. So far, neither Syracuse’s Tyus Battle, BC’s Jerome Robinson, FSU’s Xavier Rathan-Mayes or BC’s Olivier Hanlan have made much of a splash since jumping ship.

At last report Battle is on a Russian team, Robinson is in the NBA, Rathan-Mayes is a G-Leaguer, and Hanlan is playing in Greece.
