UNC Basketball's Lack of Depth Raising Questions About Lineup Rotations

Posted Feb 11, 2022
Without Dawson Garcia, who will not return for the 2021-22 season, UNC only has two big men. In UNC's last six games, Brady Manek has averaged 34.6 minutes per game while Armando Bacot has played 33.3 minutes per game. Manek has at times looked exhausted and Bacot's recent foul trouble further complicates the Tar Heels' lack of depth. (Inside Carolina)
