UNC Basketball: Each returning player’s best moment and ceiling for 2018-19

The ceiling is the roof, as one esteemed Tar Heel has declared.

Now is a popular time of year for optimism among both basketball and football fans, with the former season still a couple of months away and the latter season just underway. As NFL predictions remind us, every team will win at least 10 games and, worst-case scenario, snag a wild-card spot, right? Well, no.

For now, though, let that be the vibe. For each of the nine returning UNC players who averaged at least three minutes per game in 2017-18, I will try to assess his ceiling for the upcoming season in terms of both statistics and role.
