RECAP
The Wolfpack had an up and down season last year but played pretty well in the post season and showed a lot of potential for the future. Well the future is now and this might be one of the most talented NC State team since Jimmy V led them. Lead by their versatile forward Leslie, who is a big time scorer and very good rebounder. His height and athletic ability allows him to play both forward positions effectively. Leslie gets help inside with Howell who will be double double guy every night. NC State also has the best point guard in the ACC in Brown. Brown is a big guard that can do it all and is capable of putting up a triple double. The Wolfpack adds another talented freshmen class with Purvis,Warren, and Lewis. Purvis will have an immediate impact as a starter and scorer while Warren will give quality minutes at both forward spots and Lewis will back up Brown at point. Add sharp shooting Scott Wood and seven footer Jordan Vandenberg and you have the makings of a National Championship team.
