Duke is the clear favorite to win the 2017 national championship, but the ACC is so loaded that even national Player of the Year candidate Grayson Allen isn't a runaway favorite for ACC POY
Team success is one of the most important factors in conference Player of the Year voting. Last year, 31 of the 32 conference POYs played on a team that finished in the top four in the standings. The one exception to the rule was Howard's James Daniel, who averaged 2.1 more points per game than any other player in the country.
As such, moat of our top candidates for ACC POY just so happen to come from our top five projected teams.
