Posted Sep 25, 2018
First Team: Luke Maye might be the best returning player in college basketball. After hitting the game-winning jumper to send UNC past Kentucky and into the Final Four in 2017, the year Carolina won the national title, Maye had an All-American season as a junior. Fourth Team: Nassir Little is a tremendous athlete who will give the Tar Heels some lineup flexibility. (NBC Sports)
