ACC Basketball: Top 5 rising seniors for 2018-19

The upperclassmen in ACC basketball are a talented bunch. Led by a veteran, this year’s rising seniors have a chance to be very good.

The rising seniors in ACC basketball all return with one thing on their mind: a national title. The North Carolina Tar Heels, Syracuse Orange, NC State Wolfpack and Virginia Tech Hokies all have an opportunity to be scary good in 2018-19.

The Tar Heels are led by senior Luke Maye. Maye initially entered his name in the 2018 NBA Draft, but decided to return for his final season of college basketball in the ACC. The Orange have a wildcard on their roster after losing in the Elite Eight last year to Duke. The Virginia Tech Hokies are probably the sleeper in ACC basketball.

The Hokies return four of five starters from last season’s team. Coming off the heels of his best season, guard Justin Robinson shouldn’t disappoint in his final season. The landscape is ripe for another competitive season of ACC basketball.

There’s an experienced group ready to lead the way and bring a title home to the conference. Here’s a look at the Top 5 rising seniors for 2018-19 in the ACC.
