NC State has had some pretty good frontcourt players over the past 10 years, but they arguably haven’t had this much talent and experience in place at a single time.
Between 2009-2011 State had an elite big in Tracy Smith, who teamed up with Richard Howell for a couple of seasons, but at that point, Howell hadn’t emerged as a true threat or dominant rebounder.
Then between 2011-13 the Wolfpack trotted out a fully seasoned and rebuilt Richard Howell who teamed up with a budding CJ Leslie.
