UNC Basketball Defensive Player of the Year: Leaky Black

Posted Mar 17, 2020
Leaky Black’s length really stood out on defense with his ability to deny passes, help out on traps, and provide some weak-side rim protection. He averaged 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, or 1.7 and 1.1 per 40 minutes. In ACC play, that improved to 1.5/1.0 per game and 1.9/1.2 per 40, as he settled into his new role. Those are big-time disruptions. (Tar Heel Blog)
