Raymond Felton and ACC PG's

Article on Felton and how "special" he is. There is mention of J.Jack in the article:

Successful teams need a point guard who can control the game throughout, but especially in the final moments of hard-fought
battles.

Georgia Tech, for example, relied on Jarrett Jack to do just that a season ago. The then-sophomore scored 29 points to go along with nine rebounds, six assists, four steals and one block in the win against Kansas that sent the Yellow Jackets to the Final Four.

"It's all about focus, maintaining focus as the game goes along once the routine starts to set in", Jack said. "The main thing is staying poised in the late stretches of the game, knowing that
you're down two and knowing you need to get the ball to the right person in the right position."

But even Jack has his hands full when he lines up against Felton.
"He's tough, man," Jack said. "Free-throw line to free-throw line, he's probably the fastest player in the country."

One thing they forgot to mention. Successful PG's lead teams to victories. That is where Jack separates from Felton in my book. Case closed.
