One of the major factors in the hiring of Jim Tanner as the general manager of the UNC basketball program was due to his experience as an agent at the NBA level. Representing over 70 NBA players over his 28-year career, Tanner represented some very notable players, including some Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famers.
Ray Allen is one of the most notable players he represented. One of the best shooters to ever play the game, Allen made a special visit to Chapel Hill to visit the UNC basketball program. The program's official social media page shared some great photos from Allen's visit, including him spending some time with five-star talent Caleb Wilson.
