Rating the ACC bench players

The "Courtmaster" has rated GT's bench in hoops the strongest in the ACC. Of course with Isma'il as your 6th man that is hard to argue.

Here were the GT comments from the article:
1-Georgia Tech-The play of Ismai’l Muhammad by himself could qualify Coach Paul Hewitt’s bench as the best in the ACC, but he also has help from forwards Clarence Moore and Robert Brooks. These three give the Yellow Jackets a strong eight man rotation which will grow to nine when guard Will Bynum, a transfer from Arizona, soon becomes eligible. CBS Sportsline’s Gregg Doyel recently wrote, “Ismai’l Muhammad is a lock-down defender and spectacular scorer who provides emotional lifts every time he scores, because every time he scores he's hanging from the rim.” Muhammad so far has been one of the best sixth men in the nation and been a huge reason Tech is one of the biggest surprises of the early season.
