Stephens might be a decent player with 20-30 more pounds on his body, but is unable, at this weight, to play either the 3 or 4.  No one else on our team has any minutes in the ACC.Of the newcomers, including Jorgenson, I am hopeful.  Sampson and Jorgenson and Cox may give us some good minutes.  But any idea this trio is better  than the starters we lost is, well, silly.  Jackson and Lammers are freshmen.  Jackson could be the surprise.  If so, maybe we won't have to have heroism from Bolden or Jorgenson.  Heath shoujld be a good sub, but DO not expect much more.The bottom line is that we have a "Piketty size" book of questions and a "UNC term paper size" list of answers.  Remember, we won six ACC games last year.</blockquote>
