Posted Oct 27, 2017
Before UNC tipped off against Barton College on Friday, five-star forward Zion Williamson walked onto the Smith Center floor and took a seat on the baseline. The 6-foot-6, 275-pound recruit and No. 2 overall player in the 2018 class is on his official visit to UNC. Williamson watched UNC's exhibition game seated next to former Tar Heel great and All-American Phil Ford.
