Posted Feb 14, 2012
1. Tyler Zeller, North Carolina – The 7-foot senior is the best player in the ACC right now and should get more national recognition for the season he’s turning in. Zeller is averaging 16 points and 9.6 rebounds on the season. But in ACC play, those numbers are 19 and 10.8 to go with 20 blocked shots and 11 steals. Plus, he’s averaging 23.3 points in his past three contests. (Fox Sports Florida)
