2. North Carolina Tar Heels - What they're losing: Harrison Barnes and John Henson being the most likely guys to jump to the NBA, no one will know for sure until the end of the season. What they're adding: The Tar Heels will welcome in one of the best shooters Roy Williams ever recruited.P.J. Hairston (Greensboro, N.C./Hargrave) can bust 'em from the logos and he's needed badly in the rotation. James McAdoo (Norfolk, Va./Christian) can help at both forwards and owns a winner's DNA. The X factor is walk-on and potential scholarship forward Jackson Simmons (Sylva, N.C./Smoky Mountain).
