Ok, this is really stupid. But just for shits and giggles:

All Time ACC Scoring List: 1. Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina 2872 2. J. J. Redick, Duke 2769 3. Dickie Hemric, Wake Forest 2587 4. Johnny Dawkins, Duke 2556 5. Rodney Monroe, N. C. State 2551 6. Bryant Stith, Virginia 2516 7. Christian Laettner, Duke 2460 8. Mike Gminski, Duke 2323 9. Jeff Lamp, Virginia 2317 10. David Thompson, N. C. State 2309

Stoglin plays 70 more games (10 remaining this year, 30 next two years): - To get a Maryland player finally on the list (and knocking David Thompson off) He has to get to 2310 points. To get that, he has to average 21.3 (his avg now) for the rest of his career. Doable. - To break Hansbrough's all time record, he'll need 2,873. That's a sick 29.3 ppg. Impossible.

Now, the 70 games is really the bare minimum. We're not counting any post season games (ACC, NCAAT, NIT, whatever) and we may even play in more than 30 regular season games. So let's add another 15 post season games, to give him 85 total games remaining in his career. That means: - To get on the all time scoring list (2310), he ONLY has to average 17.6 ppg. - To break Hansbrough's record? He'll have to do 24.1 ppg. Likely still impossible. FWIW, that would put Stoglin at 138 total games played, Hansbrough had 142 games.

A couple thoughts:

I will never hate on Stogs for the simple fact that he cares more then anyone else. Every game he leaves it all out there and that's all you can really hope for. For example, at the end of the Temple game when the bottom dropped out and our close game turned into a double digit loss everyone started to check out. You could see everyone's eyes start to glaze over and accept the loss. But not Stogs. Stogs was so pissed about the loss he was starting fights with Temple players. If you remember, Turge had to take him out at the end of the game with like >1 minute left. Same as last year. When we lost the UNC game which essential ended our chances of making the NCAAT he was so f*cking pissed he just walked of the court and didn't talk to anyone. Meanwhile, an already checked out JWill was dapping up UNC players like they were in the NBA already and the game didn't matter.

I think the only thing separating Stogs from one of the truly greats is those 3 extra assists per game Kemba was averaging. It's frustrating because it just seems so obvious. If he can learn to spend the meat of the games getting his teammates involved and then only taking the game over in crucial spots, he would be an NBA caliber point guard. This isn't anything new, GV alluded to it on twitter today and we generally hear the same point every time there is a new elite scoring point guard in coming up in college. The real question is whether or not he's mature enough/coachable enough to take the lesson to heart.

Either way, I appreciate the OP's point. It's rare that we get the chance to watch someone play who even has the potential for greatness. We should definitely take time to appreciate the ride.
