What We Learned From ACC Operation Basketball
Posted Oct 28, 2018
UNC spent much of the 2017-18 season employing a four-guard lineup that featured forward Luke Maye as its post player on defense. Freshmen big men Sterling Manley and Garrison Brooks played well at times, but never developed into consistent low-post scoring threats. Coach Roy Williams said that is again an issue for the Tar Heels as they prepare for the upcoming season.
