RJ Davis, Elliot Cadeau, Drake Powell Among ESPN's Preseason Top 100 College Basketball Players

Posted Oct 28, 2024
No. 2: R.J. Davis deserves to be the preseason national player of the year favorite. He was a first-team All-American last season. He has been to the national title game. He led North Carolina to a No. 1 seed last season. And he's likely going to make a run at becoming the Tar Heels' all-time leading scorer. No. 77: Elliot Cadeau. No. 88: Drake Powell. (ESPN.com)
