NBA early-entry winners and losers
Posted Apr 28, 2014
Winners - North Carolina: The Tar Heels were in a danger zone. UNC lost James Michael McAdoo. It could have seen point guard Marcus Paige and forward Brice Johnson bolt too. But that didn’t happen. Having Paige return is huge for coach Roy Williams. Paige will be the preseason favorite for ACC Player of the Year. His return was a must for UNC to be a conference title contender.
