Pierre has scored in double digits in each of his seven ACC appearances, averaging 15.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 41.7 percent from three-point range.

B.J. Edwards - Impressive stat line Tuesday Edwards recorded 24 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and six steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 victory over Wake Forest.

Impact Edwards not only ended two boards and three assists away from a triple-double, but he also recorded six steals. This was his 10th straight game with multiple steals, showing he's elite both offensively and defensively. Edwards is averaging a robust line of 14.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.0 steals per game over that 10-game stretch.

B.J. Edwards - All-around production continues Edwards had 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 72-68 loss to Virginia.

Impact Edwards checks in at third on the Mustangs in scoring with a 13.3 ppg, but it's his ancillary production (5.6 rpg, 5.3 apg, 2.5 spg) that boosts his fantasy value. He also happens to be the only player in Division I college basketball with multiple triple-doubles on the year. He's essentially the X-factor for a 13-5 SMU team with its sights set on an NCAA Tournament berth.

Jaron Pierre Jr. - Steady presence for SMU Pierre racked up 16 points (7-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Saturday's 72-68 loss to Virginia.

Impact Fellow guards Boopie Miller and BJ Edwards may be better all-around fantasy producers, but Pierre has quietly been a consistent asset himself. In his fifth collegiate season with his fourth program, Pierre is currently second on the team with a 17.1 ppg scoring average -- the second-best mark of his career. His efficiency is also up, as he's shooting a career-best 45.2 percent from the field. He and the Mustangs are off to a surprisingly-good start, carrying a 13-5 record, with signature wins against Texas A&M and North Carolina already on the resume.

Sam Walters - Sits Wednesday after all Walters (undisclosed) did not take the court in Wednesday's 77-76 victory over Virginia Tech.

Impact Walters missed Saturday's game against Duke with an undisclosed injury, and while he wasn't listed with an injury on the availability report Wednesday, the junior forward did not end up taking the court. Walters averages less than 10 minutes per contest anyway, and with the improved recent play of freshman center Jaden Toombs, the absence of Walters may not be health-related. His next chance to take the court will be Saturday against Virginia.
