The Tar Heels recently received some good news with James Okonkwo announcing his commitment. The 6’8 power forward from West Virginia was a last-minute addition and likely marks the completion of the roster. Okonkwo only played 11 minutes a game last season for the Mountaineers but he’s physical and athletic enough to carve out a role. Perhaps his biggest competitor for playing time is the next guy up in these previews: Jalen Washington.

Washington had some really nice stretches throughout last season but his opportunities were limited mainly due to the presence of upperclassmen Armando Bacot and Pete Nance.
