Previewing Clemson Posted Jan 17, 2007 Much of the Tigers' success can be attributed to the steady backcourt play of senior Vern Hamilton and junior Cliff Hammonds. The two have combined for 22.3 points, 7.6 assists and 3.7 steals. Both have rounded out their games over the course of their Clemson careers, with Hamilton becoming a better shooter and Hammonds becoming a more reliable playmaker. (Inside Carolina)
