The Seminoles enter this season with some of the most talented and athletic guards in the ACC.

Sophomore Dwayne Bacon and Junior Xavier Rathan-Mayes return to Tallahassee in hopes to compete for an NCAA berth.

Rathan-Mayes comes into this year with a career average of 13.4 ppg and 4.3 apg. The 6-4 guard has started 62 games in his Florida State career and has some of the most experience in the conference.

Bacon, who led the team in scoring last year with 15.8 ppg, will once again be the main scorer the the Seminoles. With the departure of freshman counterpart Malik Beasley, Bacon will get even more of an opportunity to score the ball.
