Pre-season frontcourt rankings

Posted Oct 26, 2011
1. North Carolina: By the end of the season, three members of UNC's frontcourt could be first-team All-ACC - and maybe more. Harrison Barnes was North Carolina's best player. Over the last 18 games, he averaged 19.7 points and the Tar Heels reached the Elite Eight. John Henson has the length to make him a defensive anchor. He averaged a double-double (11.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, plus 3.2 blocks). (Rivals.com)
