Top college basketball teams did excellent job in filling holes

Posted Apr 24, 2012
9. North Carolina: Freshmen who could start: C Joel James, F Brice Johnson, PG Marcus Paige; The Tar Heels lost four starters and are bringing in a celebrated class, but it still wouldn't be a surprise if Paige is the only freshman starter. He needs to live up to his hype, as the Heels need a new point guard with the early departure of Kendall Marshall. James, Johnson and F J.P. Tokoto are the Heels' other freshmen, and Johnson and James have a shot to join James Michael McAdoo in the starting lineup in the frontcourt. (Yahoo! Sports)
