Elliot Cadeau ranked 5th among college hoops' top freshmen who can make biggest immediate impact

Posted Oct 10, 2023
5. Elliot Cadeau, UNC. The bad: The Tar Heels averaged 12 assists per game last season, which ranked No. 264 in the nation. The good: the assist numbers are bound to improve with Cadeau in the fold. He is one of the true floor generals in the class and a plug-and-play starter for Hubert Davis. Don't be surprised if Cadeau wins ACC Freshman of the Year. (CBS Sports)
