UNC Basketball: Tar Heels’ 2016-17 lineup options

North Carolina is scoring 92 points per game through the season’s first four games and they’ve defeated their opponents by an average of 25 points a contest.

Despite their early success, North Carolina has missed junior wing Theo Pinson a great deal. The guard/forward will reportedly miss eight to 12 weeks with a broken bone in his right foot.

Britt has continued his solid play from last season. In three games, he’s averaging six points, 3.
