Armando Bacot Stepping Into Pivotal Post Role

Posted Oct 30, 2019
While Garrison Brooks returns as UNC’s top defender, Armando Bacot's strength lies in his scoring ability. The 6-foot-10, 232-pound forward can operate with his back to the basket, which is a skill set that has largely been lacking in the post for the Tar Heels in recent recruiting classes. His preseason has been spent learning to be more creative offensively. (Inside Carolina)
