North Carolina shone brightly during the annual NBA draft on Thursday night in New Jersey. Four former Tar Heels - Harrison Barnes, Kendall Marshall, John Henson and Tyler Zeller -- were taken within the first 17 picks. "It is exciting," said coach Roy Williams, who attended the draft. "It's exciting for the families. It's exciting for me and the guys in our program."
