UNC Basketball Sixth Man of the Year: Christian Keeling

During this turbulent season that was marred by injuries, only one member of the North Carolina Tar Heels appeared in each game.

Christian Keeling, the lone Tar Heel to play in all 33 games, is our choice for Sixth Man of the Year. This is particularly appropriate, because Keeling’s 632 minutes played this season ranks sixth on the team.

Keeling was billed as a much-needed scorer coming into the 2019-20 season. Unfortunately, Keeling’s season did not pan out that way. The grad transfer seemed to struggle transitioning into a new system and higher level of competition.
