After a tremendous year, NC State's TJ Warren won the ACC Player Of The Year award Tuesday.

Realistically, there were three main candidates: Warren, Jabari Parker and UNC's Marcus Paige. All of them would have been worthy honorees, but Warren, who had a brilliant year, won out with 48 votes. Parker finished with 25.

We're not sure if Paige got any votes - none of the stories we've seen mention him - but the guy had an amazing year and deserves great respect, as does Parker, who is as fine a freshman as we've seen in a long time.
