Sports Illustrated College Basketball Preview: No. 21 North Carolina

Posted Oct 3, 2025
North Carolina’s most obvious flaw a season ago was its frontcourt play. Enter Henri Veesaar, a 7-footer who was awesome at Arizona last season. Offensively, he’s far more effective both as a finisher at the rim and short-roll playmaker. This was the most important piece to get right, and UNC nailed it. Next was retooling the backcourt around Seth Trimble. (Sports Illustrated)
