UNC basketball: Can Brandon Huffman expand his role from last season?

Coming into last season, Brandon Huffman was squarely in the conversation, along with fellow freshmen Garrison Brooks and Sterling Manley, to earn significant minutes on a roster that lacked experience down low. However, Brooks and Manley separated themselves early on and Huffman got buried on the depth chart.

Huffman will have his work cut out for him as he enters his sophomore campaign. With the arrival of three talented freshmen (albeit none that play his position), it’s possible he could see a similar or even smaller role this year. In order to earn a healthy share of minutes, Huffman must prove to Coach Williams and the rest of the staff that he belongs back in that conversation with Brooks and Manley.
