The Atlantic Coast Conference is one of the top NCAA basketball conferences each year, and this season will be no different.

With perennial powers Duke and North Carolina at the top, closely followed by Virginia, Louisville and Syracuse, the ACC will have no shortage of excitement and star-power.

And with the start of a new season comes the expectations of teams and players based on past performances, high school careers and growth from one season to the next.

So much of this season will be based around the sensational freshman class that the ACC welcomes into the mix. Duke has a handful of five-star freshman and UNC reeled in a top-10 class to blend with their veteran squad. And North Carolina State boasts an impressive freshman that may stand out more than any other.

What will the results be by the end of the season? Nobody knows for sure. But let’s take a stab at what we think it may end up looking like.

Without further ado, take a look at Keeping It Heel’s 2016-17 ACC preseason awards and predictions.
