Scott Named 3rd Team All-ACC

Scott Named 3rd Team All-ACC


by -

Clemson, SC-Clemson guard Edward Scott was named third-team All-ACC

by the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association on March 4. It

marks the sixth straight year that a Clemson guard has made one of

the three official All-ACC teams. Terrell McIntyre was named to

second or third team each of his last three years, while Will Solomon

was a first-team selection in 2000 and a second-team choice last year.

Scott was joined on the third team by Wake Forest's Josh

Howard, Maryland's Steve Blake and Chris Wilcox, and North Carolina's

Jason Capel. Jason Williams (Duke) and Juan Dixon (Maryland)

headlined the first team as unanimous selections. Mike Dunleavy and

Carlos Boozer of Duke were joined on the first team by Anthony Grundy

of NC State.

The second team featured Roger Mason, Jr and Travis Watson of

Virginia, Tony Akins of Georgia Tech, Darius Songaila of Wake Forest

and Lonny Baxter of Maryland.

Scott led the Clemson team in assists with 7.97 per game, a

figure that ranks third best in the nation entering the ACC

Tournament. He ranks fourth on the Tiger team in scoring with 11.5

per game and is also third on the club in rebounding with a 4.9

average. That is the highest rebound average for a Clemson point

guard since the 1957-58 season.

Scott had 231 assists for the season, the second highest

figure in Clemson history and he is on pace to break Grayson

Marshall's per game record of 7.71. The junior from Eastover, SC

finished strong, averaging 18.2 points and 8.4 assists per game over

the last five games. That included a 36-point scoring performance in

a win over Florida State, highest point total in a single game by a

Clemson point guard in 32 years.

He had 30 points and 16 assists in a 118-115 double overtime win over

Wake Forest. That was just the second time in ACC history that a

player had at least 30 points and 15 assists in the same game. He

had seven games this year in which he had double figures in assists

and six games in which he recorded a double-double, most ever by a

Clemson guard for one season.

"This is a great honor for Edward Scott," said Head Coach

Larry Shyatt. "He has been our team leader all season. He has 55

percent of our assists this year so you can see that the offense runs

through him. He has made great improvement this year, and with his

work ethic I am sure he will get better and better."
