The ACC released its preseason media poll ahead of the 2023-24 season, and the media is bullish on the Duke Blue Devils.
Last year’s ACC Tournament champions received 44 of 51 first-place votes. The Blue Devils will be helmed by Jon Scheyer, who just signed a six-year extension, for the second season.
Duke’s 7-foot sophomore Kyle Filipowski, one of the Associated Press’ preseason All-Americans, was named the preseason player of the year for the conference after he received 35 of the 51 votes. Filipowski averaged 15.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, as well as 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks.
North Carolina‘s Armando Bacot, a fellow AP All-American, finished second with 13 votes. His Tar Heels teammate Elliot Cadeau was named the conference’s Rookie of the Year.
Here’s how the conference’s voters see the ACC shaking out this season.
