SI Preseason College Basketball Power Rankings

Posted Nov 7, 2013
11. North Carolina Tar Heels: Just 18.1 percent of UNC's field goal attempts came at the rim last season, the second-lowest amount of any team in the country. Power forward James Michael McAdoo attempted 356 shots that were classified as two-point jumpers and just 119 layups/dunks, which dragged his efficiency down to substandard levels for a focal point of a historically elite offensive team.
