Sean Singletary and J.R. Reynolds make up one of the most feared and respected backcourts in the nation. They are the most prolific scoring guard combo in the ACC.
Since ACC play began, no one has turned it up more than Reynolds. He averages 20 points a game in conference play, second in the ACC and the highest of any guard.
Reynolds, who was pretty much a shooting guard during his college career, played predominantly point guard for Vanoli — a transition that will undoubtedly make him more attractive to potential NBA teams.
