More comfortable Zayden High elevating his game

Zayden High began the season as a reserve who could spell the starters for a few possessions. During his two starts while Henri Veesaar was out, he played well but was more of a serviceable replacement. That shifted dramatically with his performance in No. 16 North Carolina’s 77-64 victory over Syracuse. High isn’t just filling time. He’s filled a role. (Tar Heel Tribune)
