Back to the North Carolina Tar Heels Newsfeed

Coby White, Nassir Little, and Cam Johnson got what they needed at the NBA Combine

It’s an exciting time for those of us who are both Carolina fans and like following the NBA and/or its draft process, because for the first time since 2012, multiple Tar Heels are being looked at as first-round picks, and for the first time this decade, the Tar Heels in the draft are actually having positive pre-draft processes. Justin Jackson was perceived as unreliable due to just one season of good shooting, Tony Bradley was both a surprise first-round selection and had unfavorable measurements, and back in 2013, Tyler Zeller, Kendall Marshall, and John Henson were all perceived as very good college players who had offensive and/or physical limitations that would hurt them in the big leagues, a perception that was only strengthened with the pre-draft process.
