Tar Heel quartet look to go early

Posted Jun 28, 2012
Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller and John Henson didn’t get the NCAA title they were hoping for when they all decided to come back to North Carolina. But a disappointing end to their UNC careers did nothing to hurt their draft status. Barnes is a consensus top five pick, while Henson and Zeller also are expected to be selected in the top 15 of tonight’s NBA draft (7 p.m., ESPN). (Durham Herald-Sun)
