No doubt now: Tyler Zeller is the Tar Heels' leader

Posted Dec 8, 2010
Eight games into UNC's season, it's clear who has emerged as the Tar Heels' No. 1 option on offense. And it's not preseason All-American Harrison Barnes. Tyler Zeller, a 7-0 junior, has become UNC's most consistent scoring threat, averaging a team-high 16.3 points. He has scored in double figures in every game except one and is coming off a career-high 27 points in a win over Kentucky. (Durham Herald-Sun)
