CBS Sports Early ACC Basketball Power Rankings
Posted Jul 14, 2017
2. North Carolina Tar Heels - Roy Williams wasn't expecting to lose big man Tony Bradley to the NBA, which hurts the Heels. Still, UNC is No. 2 because it landed Cam Johnson, who will be critical to UNC's offense. The Tar Heels won't be as big as a year ago, but 13 league wins is doable. Joel Berry II figures to be one nation's top three point guards.
