After a roller coaster season of injuries, NBA draft prospects, and a gut-wrenching NCAA first round tournament loss to Loyola-Chicago, the Canes must quickly shift their focus on the upcoming 2018-2019 basketball season where their roster could look very different.
The 2018-2019 roster currently awaits the NBA Draft announcements of sophomore guard Bruce Brown Jr. and freshman wing Lonnie Walker IV. Both players are projected to be top 20 picks in the draft, and both players are expected to leave, but no official announcement has been made yet. If no official announcement is made in the near future, expect both players to throw their names in the draft waters and work out at the NBA combine in May, as college players are now allowed to work out at the combine without hiring an agent before officially making a decision on their playing future.
