Rating the best frontcourts in college basketball

Posted Oct 25, 2010
3. North Carolina: This ranking is contingent on Harrison Barnes living up to the hype and Tyler Zeller staying healthy for an entire season.

Zeller has shown plenty of promise on the rare occasions when he has been healthy enough to play. (Lexington Herald-Leader)
