Last year, it took until the end of May for everyone to know exactly who would be lacing up their shoes and wearing the “North Carolina” on their chest for the 2018-19 season. The main reason for this was Luke Maye, who went through the NBA process and then decided to come back. It still was a change from 2017 where it took until summer for the team to be set thanks to Cam Johnson’s decision.
This year, Carolina was faced with the graduation of Maye, Johnson, Kenny Williams, plus the early departure of Coby White and Nassir Little.
