UNC still strong
Posted Jul 21, 2009
Here's a brutal reality check for the rest of the ACC: North Carolina lost Tyler Hansbrough, the leading scorer in ACC history, and will still have one of the best frontcourts in the country. There are the returnees – Deon Thompson, Ed Davis and Tyler Zeller – and the additions of freshmen John Henson and Travis and David Wear. Given Roy Williams' propensity to play a deep rotation, they'll all be given a chance to make some hay.
