On an atypical UNC team, Garrison Brooks making his mark on defense

Posted Feb 18, 2019
Garrison Brooks isn’t the prototypical North Carolina center or a dominant force inside. But this isn’t your prototypical Tar Heels team. Coach Roy Williams prefers two traditional post players and revolves his offense around those big men. That’s not how his current team is successful, particularly starting the 6-9 Brooks at the five spot and 6-8 Luke Maye at the four. (Triangle Sports Network)
