Top newcomers in ACC basketball
Posted May 24, 2011
James McAdoo, North Carolina, PF – The co-MVP of last month’s Jordan Brand Classic will form arguably the nation’s top frontcourt trio along with future first-round draft picks John Henson and Tyler Zeller. McAdoo, the nation’s eighth-ranked prospect, can score with his back to the basket but also has face-up skills; P.J. Hairston, North Carolina, SF – The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Hairston committed to the Tar Heels nearly two years ago. He’s a deadly 3-point shooter who can pull up quickly off the catch or off the dribble. Hairston also has the size, strength and aggression to mix it up in the paint and finish around the rim.
