now an ACC legend by virtue of expansion (Curry)?
Whitney was a hell of a player for CLemson.

You're right, Whitney was a very good player for us, but

a "legend"? Seems like a token pick (one from each school) driven more by his 11 yr NBA career than his contribution to the ACC. I'll bet 99% of ACC fans outside of Clemson can even recall hearing of him.
I enjoyed his career as much as anyone and think he is an excellent representative of Clemson. IMO he is not an ACC legend.

church league. There should be a criteria or it means absolutely nothing. The SEC does the same thing in football with their SEC Legends. I like Chris Whitney but mentioning him with the likes of Laettner, Jordan, and Duncan is just plain stupid.

Rusty LaRue was Wake's representative this time around. There is no mention of comparison to Laettner, Jordan or Duncan this year.
This isn't the ACC's top 12 player list, but this is who they are honoring this year........I really don't see anything wrong with it.
Guess we will have to disagree.

It wasn't a best ever list, just a list of legends for that school. Marshall didn't do anything in the NBA, but you were hard pressed to find a better floor leader during his time at Clemson (in the ACC) . . .

The first player in history to lead the ACC in scoring average, field goal percentage, and rebounding for TWO years straight.
Billy Williams...A leader on the "Final 8" NCAA team of 1980.
Banks McFadden...Led Clemson to its only conference tournament title in history.
Butch Zatezalo...One of the greatest scoring machines in ACC history.
