The ACC has historically produced some of the top prospects in the NBA draft. Last season the ACC produced four lottery picks -- three from North Carolina -- and seven first-rounders overall.
This year looks like a bit of a down year. The ACC has just one player currently ranked as a lottery pick and just three more players ranked in our Top 30.
I spoke with a number of NBA scouts to get a take on five players they'll be scouting closely in the ACC this season. Here's the breakdown:
1. James Michael McAdoo, F, So., North Carolina
Top 100 Ranking: 4
