are picked to finish among the top teams in the ACC this year, and if they do it will be due in large part to the talents of Chase Hunter andHunter, a 6-4 guard from Atlanta, Ga., was picked No. 91 on the list while Schieffelin, a 6-8 forward from Atlanta, was picked No. 99.
Hunter, a 6-4 returns for his sixth year of college basketball after he averaged 12.9 points, 3.3 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game last season.

CBS’ analysis included a nod to Hunter being “… one of the best players in the ACC down the stretch run last season.”
Schieffelin is in his fourth and final collegiate season. He’s been a steady contributor at Clemson, but last year he was a full-time starter who averaged 10.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. He was also named the most improved player in the ACC.The Tigers were the first team in the poll that didn’t get a first-place vote, but with 765 total points, they finished just ahead of Virginia. The Cavaliers just lost their coach, Tony Bennett, who retired last week.
Clemson is making its final preparations for the start of the season. On Wednesday the Tigers will host Augusta in an exhibition game at 7 p.m. at Littlejohn Coliseum.
