Big Man Armando Bacot Fills a Much-Needed Role for North Carolina
Posted Aug 9, 2019
A 6’10” center, Armando Bacot is one of four freshmen in Roy Williams’ No. 8 ranked class. Bacot is a much-needed interior addition for UNC and should help answer some of the questions inside after UNC often had to utilize smaller lineups in 2018-19. The duo of Bacot and Garrison Brooks means Williams shouldn’t have to worry about UNC’s frontcourt.
