UNC Basketball Summer Preview: Kerwin Walton

Posted Jul 4, 2021

Walton was inserted into the starting lineup for the Tar Heels’ ninth game of the season against Georgia Tech. From that point on, he never relinquished his starting role, recorded at least 21 minutes in every game, and averaged 8.2 points. (Tar Heel Blog)
