Tough calls in the ACC

Posted Feb 28, 2007

Picking the five-man all-frosh team is more difficult than settling on best for all-conference.

Wright has superstar talent and probably will be the first ACC player selected if he enters the NBA Draft, but Lawson is the one player the team can't live without. (Raleigh News & Observer)
