Position battles: Power forwards

Posted May 15, 2014
UNC: Jackson Simmons vs. Isaiah Hicks: Or who will back up Brice Johnson? Neither saw much playing time last season, but somebody will have to contribute for coach Roy Williams this coming season. Hicks, a sophomore to be, played out of position for most of last season, sliding over to the small forward spot. Meanwhile, Simmons has spent the better part of his career biding his time.
