Moving out: New coach Hubert Davis taking Tar Heels outside

Posted Nov 3, 2021
Hubert Davis, known for his outside shooting during his UNC career and decade in the NBA, has rebuilt the team in his image, and that means a new focus on the perimeter — even for Armando Bacot, a player expected to be one of the top big men in the ACC. "One of the things from an offensive standpoint I’ve always loved is versatile bigs," Davis said. (North State Journal)
