Big losses from last season
Georgia Tech surprised many, securing a spot in the NCAA Tournament and finished 17-9 overall and with 11 conference wins. But a key part of that was the production level from guard Jose Alvarado and forward Moses Wright, who combined for nearly 32 points last year while also being productive on the boards and in leading the charge both offensively and defensively. Both though are now gone, so who will step up in their place' The Yellow Jackets do return a few key guys including players like Michael Devoe and Jordan Usher who started all 26 games last year.
Big season for Michael Devoe
Devoe has been incredibly productive throughout his career. He had a strong freshman season in which he played in 32 games and nearly averaged 10 points per game. He backed that up with a sophomore season in which he averaged 16.0ppg and then finished his junior season last year averaging 15.0ppg and shooting 45 percent from the floor and 40 percent from three. Now, as a senior, Devoe will be counted on once again to help lead the charge. If the Yellow Jackets make another strong push in the ACC, Devoe will be a key reason and could be in the mix for a First-Team All-ACC type season.
