With NBA defections, UNC ready to go guard-heavy
Posted Jun 14, 2012
UNC is going from attacking inside with several scoring options to focusing its attention on the perimeter. The Tar Heels lost senior 7-footer Tyler Zeller and a pair of early NBA draft entrees in Harrison Barnes and John Henson off their front line. That leaves sophomore forward James Michael McAdoo as the veteran up front for a team that returns four experienced guards.
