Charles Smith named ACC's Pitt legend for 2016

The ACC continued with its annual tradition of selecting a former basketball player from each member school and declaring him an 'ACC Legend'. On Thursday, the conference tabbed former Pitt star Charles Smith as this year's selection.

I know, I get it - he never played in the ACC. That joke's been made over and over, though, so it's just not as fun.

Obviously, in looking back through Pitt's history, Smith was one of the best players in the program. He was a Big East Player of the Year, two-time All-American, and an NBA Lottery pick.
