Nassir Little ready to move on to NBA

Nassir Little knows it.

Little entered North Carolina for his freshman season as the No. 3 recruit in the nation, the MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game and the co-MVP of the Jordan Brand Classic.

In his one season at North Carolina, Little didn’t crack the starting lineup. The 6-foot-6 forward appeared in 36 games and averaged 9.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 18.2 minutes. He said he’s now ready to move on to the NBA.

“Probably not, but it doesn’t matter,” Little said Tuesday when asked if he had lived up to the expectations of himself and others.
