Day’Ron Sharpe selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 29th pick in the NBA Draft

UNC big man Day’Ron Sharpe has been selected by the Brooklyn Nets as the 29th pick of the NBA Draft, making it the third season a row that we have seen a Tar Heel get drafted as a one-and-done player. As weird as this is to say, he is also the last Tar Heel that will ever get drafted immediately after completing a season with Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams. It’s a depressing detail, but at the same time it is an exciting moment for the North Carolina native who gave his all to Williams despite the way the season ended.
