Starling is his size and J.J.’s fast with the ball and he gets it going in that right hand and he’s good at it. We’re guarding Ben on Chucky Hepburn, we’re guarding Ben on Markus Burton. Those are some tough matches, but he continues to play good ball.''
I have said it before and I'll say it again, Ben Hammond is going to be a player and Virginia Tech needs to do everything they can to keep him in Blacksburg.
