Thoughts on the NBA Draft

With the NBA Draft tonight, it looks like UNC’s men’s basketball program is set to not have a player drafted for just the third time since 2009 — 2010 was a rebuilding year, and 2018 was the culmination of several years’ worth of recruiting good college players who just weren’t the NBA’s type.
