There are plenty of players that fans will have their eyes on this season in the ACC, but Phenom Hoops wanted to dive into a few names that we find interesting to watch this season, especially with what they provide to their team. Check out the names below and let us know who else you will be keeping an eye on in the conference.
Junior PJ Hall (Clemson): Hall has solidified himself as one of the top players in the ACC and is one of the clear leaders for this team.

But the Tennessee transfer was regarded as a 5-star prospect coming out of high school but didn
