ACC Preseason Player of the Year

  1. Grayson Allen, Duke
    The obvious choice for ACC Player of the Year begins the season with a depleted roster that should only help his case.
  2. Jaron Blossomgame, Clemson
    Blossomgame will be the focal point of basically every game and every offensive set this season. That’s bound to bode well for his stat line.
  3. Joel Berry II, North Carolina
    With Marcus Paige gone, Berry is now the undisputed leader of a UNC team that came up a buzzer-beater short of overtime in the national title game.
  4. Dennis Smith Jr., North Carolina State
    Sensational freshman with the potential to beat out seasoned veterans for the ACC’s top award.
  5. Tyler Lydon, Syracuse
    Lydon could have been making the big bucks right now, but chose college. Jim Boeheim and the Syracuse Orange will reap the benefits.
