Bynum’s return doesn’t help
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Not even a flash from the past could resurrect Georgia Tech’s basketball team Tuesday night against Virginia Tech.
Former player Will Bynum showed up at the game to cheer on the Jackets. Bynum is in Roanoke, playing for the Roanoke Dazzle of the NBA Developmental League. Bynum isn’t just playing, though. He’s leading. He’s the league’s leading scorer and is second in assists.
Bynum, who played with the Boston Celtics’ summer league team, is also leading the NBDL in turnovers. Improving on that is his primary focus nowadays where he said Tuesday he is having a great time and enjoying full-time basketball. He couldn’t get much enjoyment, however, from watching Georgia Tech drop its sixth-straight game.

Clark moves to defense
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia Tech’s biggest signing day news didn’t involve a signee. Pat Clark, the Yellow Jackets’ top player at inside receiver in the three-receiver set, moves to cornerback this spring.
Tech coach Chan Gailey said Clark, who will be a junior this fall, is a smart player who should catch on quickly at his new position. He’s not penciled in as a starter, though. Kenny Scott returns at one corner, and Jamal Lewis and Jahi Word-Daniels are the leaders at the other.
Clark had 15 catches last season, ranking behind only Calvin Johnson, Damarius Bilbo and P.J. Daniels.
