Frontcourt matchup headlines UNC men's basketball's game against Duke

Posted Feb 6, 2026
Caleb Wilson’s presence is matched by center Henri Veesaar, who gives UNC the true center it lacked last season. Veesaar averages 16.8 points and nine rebounds per game, but his value extends beyond traditional post play. Shooting 46 percent from 3-point range, the 7-footer pulls defenders from the basket, opening driving lanes for UNC’s guards. (Daily Tar Heel)
