ACC NBA Draft Watch

Posted Jun 6, 2012
According to most NBA draft experts, general managers will select five former ACC players in this year’s first round. (I’ll give you hint: they were all on the floor when UNC and Duke met.) There’s even a chance that all five go in the lottery. 2005 was the last time five ACC players landed in the lottery - Marvin Williams 2nd, Chris Paul 4th, Raymond Felton 5th, Sean May 13th, and Rashad McCants 14th.
