Davis, Zeller, and Hansbrough run the floor very very well. This also gives us the advantage of going small, or big (without sacraficing too much athleticism).

Last season he scored 882, the season before he had 699. There is a good chance he passes that mark. He would need to average 20 ppg in the 30 regular season games to do it. If he averages what he did last season he would do it by the Maryland or GT games in late February. Hansbrough needs 123 points to pass Phil Ford on UNC's list. That should happen in Maui or at the very latest versus UNC-A on Nov 30th or Michigan State on December 3rd. Hansbrough needs 602 points to pass Redick.

ACC points record? I think he's a lock for Carolina's all time point record but the other ACC one I'm not sure of.

The only thing that made me think otherwise is the fact that we are going to be guard loaded over the next few years with Drew, Strickland, Watts, Bullock, and Marshall. It made me think that, while 09-010 will be guard loaded, we might could use Davis's services most abundantly during that time. Don't get me wrong, when Hansbrough goes out, it would be nice to see Davis come in and keep the level of intensity up. As a matter of fact, I have no clue how an opposing defense could deal with it. He IS the Tyler 2.0. If you have seen any of his HS games, he goes after rebounds & put-backs like he is going to get a death sentence if he doesn't get it. That sounds like Tyler to me. If you are looking at this as the best time for us to achieve a national championship, then it makes good sense to go ahead & use his services this year.

Ed Davis' role could be that of a shot blocker and let's not forget, Deon Thompson has never exactly lit things up outside a game here and a game there. If Davis or Zeller impress, Thompson might see a smaller role. Yes, Watts will be a redshirt.

As evidenced by last year, injuries happen. You can get by with 3 big men, but you really need 4 to be safe. I think if anyone is going to redshirt, it's going to be someone on the wing...probably Watts. JB, I don’t think there is any chance Davis gets redshirted. As evidenced by last year, injuries happen.

I think that Ed Davis might be best served as a red-shirt. He is a Hansbrough clone, setting race aside, that we will need in the coming years in the paint as the Wear boys are mostly wingmen. We need Zeller's height right now, as we may face some teams with a pretty big inside presence, aka, the Kansas game, where he could have served us well last year. I don't know how this will pan out, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see one red-shirt. Can’t wait to see Zeller. I think that Ed Davis might be best served as a red-shirt.

I'm thinking around 8-15 min a game. I think as far as his minutes are concerned he’ll be first off the bench for Tyler or Deon. I’m thinking around 8-15 min a game.

I have heard some say they forsee Wake finishing ahead of Duke. If I remember correctly, the ACC regular season came down to the last game between Duke & UNC. Can you believe that! I thought Duke wasn't that good last year, and I thought we were terrific, and yet the regular season came down to the last game. They will have their inside game tweaked a little. Who knows? Officiating could help in this issue as well. I thought the games that were officiated between UNC & Duke were pretty good. I thougth Duke got the better end on some of those games including both games against State, especially in Raleigh when it was a close game & usually the home team gets the benefit of judgement calls.

That's going to hurt his chances, unless of course he is a total bad ass while he is on the court!
