Rival ACC schools retain key players on NBA Draft decision day

If every coin has two sides, the heads of Tyus Battle returning to the Syracuse Orange will be counteracted by the tails of key returnees around the ACC.

On Wednesday we learned the Orange will retain its starting five with Battle back. The group banded together last year to survive a hellish ride through Atlantic Coast Conference play, earning Clemson, Louisville and Miami wins late to get into the dance. In this conference every break is only relative, as a class of elite Duke players that throttled the Orange (and others) leaves, a new and improved cast enters.
