With two games to play in the regular season, North Carolina's Tyler Zeller has emerged
as the clear favorite to win ACC Player of the Year honors. He already
has been named the men’s basketball academic All-American of the Year by
one organization.
In conference games only, Zeller is fourth in the league in scoring
(17.6 points per game) and second in rebounding (9.8 rebounds per game).
He also leads the ACC in offensive rebounds per game (3.9).
Zeller has been the most well-rounded and consistent of all the players
who have emerged as player of the year candidates. Mike Scott, the senior
forward at Virginia, will rightfully receive some attention for the
award, but Virginia’s recent slide – the Cavaliers are 3-4 in their past
seven games – hurts his cause.

Mike Scott is way overrated. He got schooled vs. UNC this weekend. I would expect either Zeller or even Austin Rivers to get it before Scott.
As a Duke fan I agree Zeller should get it.
Where is UNC without Zeller? Now, where is UVa without Mike Scott? UNC would still be good, but UVa might be lucky to be at .500. That is all you need to know in determining who is the MVP in the ACC.
well I have to agree on this selection Tyler Zeller had had such a great performance that year so he really deserved that, congratulations to him and his team because without it, he could not have done it
