Posted Dec 27, 2014
North Carolina’s 89-58 rout of UAB on Saturday reinforced a point that no player is more valuable to the Tar Heels than Kennedy Meeks. Meeks’s 14 points and nine rebounds align with his season averages, but more than direct numbers, it’s Meeks effectiveness – or rather his team’s effectiveness with him on the court – that is the statistic all but the hardcore number crunchers routinely miss.
