These days it’s the rare team that relies heavily on a single player to deliver the long-range blows.
Having one player dominate 3-point shooting for his team in the manner of Dennis Scott, the 1990 ACC Player of the Year, is now more the exception than the rule. The Georgia Tech wing took 51.3 percent of the threes (and made 52.7 percent) on a Yellow Jacket squad that reached the ’90 Final Four. “So much of their offense is Scott’s 3-pointers,” said Mike Krzyzewski, whose team reached the same Final Four.
Scott’s 27.7 points per game remain the highest average among ACC players over the past 45 seasons.
