ACC Basketball: Preseason All-ACC team

With the early entry date having come and gone, who are the top picks for preseason All-ACC player of the year?

Since the first two games of the NBA Finals hasn’t been as exciting as everyone had hoped, maybe it’s time to turn our eyes back to the college game.

With all the early entry decisions now official, let’s take a look at the front-runners for the All-ACC team next season.

This is not an easy task as 12 of the 15 players selected to the three teams last season either graduated or went pro. That includes last season’s ACC Player of the Year and ACC Freshmen of the Year.

This leaves a lot of open spots for future stars to fill.

Before we get into that, though, just a quick note. A lot can happen between now and the end of the season, as we’ve seen in recent years.

Last year, the ACC coaches picked Grayson Allen, Jaron Blossomgame, Joel Berry II, London Perrantes, and Dennis Smith Jr. for preseason All-ACC first team.

Guess how many of those five players made the first team. Zero. Allen didn’t even get votes for honorable mention. Jackson, who won ACC Player of the Year, was voted to the second team and didn’t even get a preseason ACC Player of the Year vote.

Luke Kennard, Bonzie Colson, John Collins, and Donovan Mitchell, the rest of the All-ACC first team, didn’t even get a single vote for anything.

So with all of that worked out, here are the picks for the All-ACC preseason team ordered from least to most likely to win ACC Player of the Year.
