So what's the scouting report on North Carolina?
- Thread starter Alan Smithee
- Start date
They must know something: their best player in the last game was Justin Jackson:
"Justin Jackson scored 25 points and was the only Tar Heels starter to get to the free-throw line."

I heard they're pretty good. In fact, I think the last poll showed that there is nobody better.
Guys,
Unlike the guy Maodo Lo from Columbia who some said would be a NBA draft pick, but will only see a NBA game with a ticket next year, UNC actually has players who will be drafted by the NBA. Justin Jackson is a 6'8" SF/SG who is projected to be drafted anywhere from #18-#25 and 6'9", 230 lb. PF Brice Johnson who can jump out of the gym and scored 13.3 ppg and 8.5 rpg is projected to a late first round pick. Marcus Paige is the leader of the team who is currently injured and that really hurt UNC against Northern Iowa is a projected second round pick. Vic Law would have been the best matchup v. Jackson and F Isiah Hicks another highly rated 6'8", 230 lbs. Hopefully, CC will realize soon after Tap gets exposed against athletic forwards in the first five minutes that Skelly will have to play meaningful minutes and hopefully, Falzon just had a poor shooting game at 1-8 v. Columbia. UNC also has three year starter Kennedy Meeks who has great hands and touch for a big guy at 6'9"-6'10", 265-275 lbs. UNC has not been known for great three point shooting and not shut down defense the past couple of years, but should come out strong after a lackluster loss v. Northern Iowa on Friday. Hoping for the best tomorrow night and game will be on ESPN2.
