Halfway through last season, before he ever entered UNC’s rotation after recovering from knee surgery, fans were already clamoring for Cam Johnson to be a starter. The same was true this season, when seemingly anybody with a pulse yelled for Nassir Little to be inserted into the starting line-up, despite some very obvious growing pains. Through it all, the player most often drawing the ire of the fans was starting center Garrison Brooks. Even now, 11 games into the ACC season and with UNC flirting with a potential top seed in the NCAA tournament, Brooks is perhaps the most underappreciated player on UNC’s roster.
