At the beginning of the season, Dawson Garcia was part of a huge transfer recruiting class that would change the look of the post at Carolina in Hubert Davis’ first stint. He had the size, 6’11”, to stand in the post with Armando Bacot but had the range to shoot from deep. That combined with Brady Manek would usher in a new era of offense for the Tar Heels that would bring them closer to where basketball had evolved.
The start of his time had its highlights for sure. He was lights-out against Purdue, scoring 26 points with nine of them being from three, and also had 22 against Elon and 20 against Furman.
