5 freshmen to watch this college basketball season
Posted Nov 1, 2018
Nassir Little, UNC: A strong 6-6 wing who was MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game, Little brings versatility and a 7-1 wing span to the Tar Heels. He knows how to win with back-to-back state titles in Florida. He’ll complement Luke Maye on offense, and he’ll commit to defense. Expect Little to battle for ACC Rookie of the Year — or even Player of the Year — honors.
