"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;With the start of college basketball season less than a month away, we're previewing each team in nine conferences. Using a statistical projection system developed by economist Dan Hanner and SI's Luke Winn, which is now in its second season, we've forecast the conference standings and the top seven scorers from each team. Next up is the conference of the defending national champion Duke Blue Devils, the ACC:&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Coach of the year: Leonard Hamilton, Florida State&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let\u2019s be honest: It probably should be Duke\u2019s Mike Krzyzewski, who somehow hasn\u2019t won this award since 1999-2000. But the talent that Coach K has again will overshadow his dexterity in creating a cohesive group. So Hamilton will benefit, as Coach of the Year honors often go to leaders of teams that make a jump. The Seminoles return their top six scorers and welcome in a ballyhooed recruiting class led by five-star wing Dwayne Bacon, who should bolster an already potent perimeter group. And a schedule featuring only one regular-season meeting apiece with Duke, North Carolina and Virginia sets up the Seminoles to push into the top half of the league. The school\u2019s first NCAA tournament berth in four years would cinch the deal.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Player of the year: Marcus Paige, North Carolina&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It\u2019s less a Lifetime Achievement Award than an acknowledgement that a cavalcade of injuries\u2014hip issues, some plantar fasciitis, bone spurs in his ankle that prompted off-season surgery\u2014contributed to the dip in Paige\u2019s production as a junior. (He went from 17.5 ppg and 44% shooting as a sophomore to 14.1 ppg and 41.3% shooting last year). If the wear-and-tear of a long college career creates more health problems, then all bets are off. If Paige is healthy, then he should thrive with a more mature, productive supporting cast while receiving the credit for leading the Tar Heels back into the national title picture.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Freshman of the year: Brandon Ingram, Duke&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The consensus top-five recruit is 6'8\" with a 7'4\" wingspan and has added 23 pounds since he arrived in Durham. Blue Devils coaches believe Ingram has the shooting, driving and ball-handling skills to slot in everywhere offensively except center. \u201CHe\u2019s really unique,\u201D Duke associate head coach Jeff Capel said. \u201CI think Coach K has done unique better than anyone.\u201D Unlike last year, and especially early last year, Duke won\u2019t run its sets through big men as much. That should play to Ingram\u2019s strength of attacking from the perimeter and enable him to put up big numbers.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Projected conference race&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tconference rank\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tprojected Conf. record\r\n\t\t\tlast year's Conf. record\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t1\r\n\t\t\tNorth Carolina\r\n\t\t\t13-5\r\n\t\t\t11-7\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t2\r\n\t\t\tDuke\r\n\t\t\t13-5\r\n\t\t\t15-3\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t3\r\n\t\t\tVirginia\r\n\t\t\t13-5\r\n\t\t\t16-2\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t4\r\n\t\t\tLouisville\r\n\t\t\t10-8\r\n\t\t\t12-6\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t5\r\n\t\t\tNotre Dame\r\n\t\t\t10-8\r\n\t\t\t14-4\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t6\r\n\t\t\tMiami (Fla.)\r\n\t\t\t10-8\r\n\t\t\t10-8\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t7\r\n\t\t\tFlorida State\r\n\t\t\t9-9\r\n\t\t\t8-10\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t8\r\n\t\t\tN.C.

But even a minor uptick would make a major difference. Many believed Theo Pinson (merely 12.5 minutes per game as a freshman) has the capacity to be a shut-down guy.

Still, the 6'2\" guard\u2019s ability was immediately evident: Quick hands and feet, pushing the tempo offensively, picking up opposing guards for 94 feet.
