Not surprisingly, Rashad McCants was named to first team All-ACC today, along with Julius Hodge, Tim Pickett, Justin Gray and Chris Duhon. Sean May was named to the second team (along with J.J. Redick, B.J. Elder, Marcus Melvin, and Shelden Williams) and Ray Felton was named to the third team (and he was joined by Chris Paul, Luol Deng, John Gilchrist, and Jarrett Jack).
I'm now convinced the voting was rigged (maybe they voted in Florida using the butterfly ballot--I think Pat Buchanon got more votes than Ray Felton). I want to meet the coach who would rather have Chris Duhon running their team instead of Ray Felton, Chris Paul, John Gilchrist or Jarret Jack. I've already made two posts on my site about why Duhon is an average collegian and would make a subpar pro, but I apparently I can't mention it enough.
Not only that, but how is it possible that Duhon is on the first team while teammates Redick and Williams are on the second team and Deng is a third teamer? If Duhon, Redick, Williams and Deng were all available for the draft, I have a good idea who would be drafted last (or maybe not at all).
Maybe Duhon is good and I'm blinded by my loyalty to UNC, but I have a hunch that's not the case. Maybe Duhon will get drafted and be a servicable NBA point guard, but this too I also doubt. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see--but as I've mentioned before, I suspect Duhon is training for his real future profession--assistant coach at Duke University.

Where is Raymond Felton now... (Below threshold)1. Posted by obviousARGUMENT | March 30, 2004 4:03 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Where is Raymond Felton now? In your mind, I suppose winning doesn't play a role in analyzing a player's value.
