Clemson's issue much like GT is offense. They were very up and down in the OOC - losing to 2 Big South teams (and almost a third) at home but beating multiple SEC teams.
When they get offense they win, when they don't they tend to lose.
Roper was awful through the first 3 months and then came alive the last 3-4 weeks allowing them to go on that little run. Blossongame is good for 10-12 a night - very consistent. Grantham has a big upside but as is typical for a FR, he plays well one game and disappears the next.
Hall is largely a non scoring PG who is a defensive ace who takes care of the ball. Nnoko can score against smaller players but not ACC quality bigs.
They need Roper's offense to give them some scoring punch. For the whole ACC season they have shot worse and scored less than GT, but have had enough made shots in the right games to have a much better record. Despite the difference in records KenPon has GT almost 20 spots higher.
There are over 100 teams in KenPom with a winning record that have a lower KenPom rating. Now alot of those are smaller conference teams, but you'd be surprised how many Power Teams are there (15).
