Overall, the Tar Heels were abysmal from beyond the arc last season. We recently previewed rising sophomores Caleb Love and RJ Davis, both of whom came in with relatively lofty shooting expectations. While each had his moments, neither one ultimately finished with desirable efficiency numbers. However, there was one freshman last year that, from the second he stepped on the court, lit it up from downtown: Kerwin Walton.

There’s no question that Walton was the biggest surprise of the 2020-21 season. He arrived in Chapel Hill as the lowest rated recruit (#133 overall according to 247sports) in a star-studded six-man class that ranked second in the country.
