Quick facts: North Carolina

Posted Nov 6, 2009
The odd reality of North Carolina's season is that this group might have more pure NBA-type talent than the one that just won the NCAA championship. None of last year's Heels went higher than 13th in the draft; it appears likely forwards Ed Davis and John Henson will beat that when their time comes. Backup center Tyler Zeller might, as well. So the Heels are not starting over in the strictest sense. (Sporting News)
