Lucas: UNC Basketball Mailbag
Posted Dec 16, 2008
Only two other Tar Heel teams have ever had four active 1,000-point scorers. The most recent was in 2005, when the eventual national champions included Rashad McCants, Jawad Williams, Raymond Felton and Sean May. The 2000-01 team also had four active players reach the milestone, as it included Jason Capel, Brendan Haywood, Kris Lang and Joseph Forte. This year's team will join that group very soon.
