David Chadwick stands 6-foot-8, was recruited by UNC’s Dean Smith while in high school in Orlando, Fla., and played as a forward for the Tar Heels, 1967-71. After college, he turned pro – in Europe, shooting hoops for three years in Belgium and in Nice on the French Riviera. But eventually, Chadwick felt called to follow in the footsteps of his father, a longtime pastor. (Charlotte Observer)
