With the NBA season is right around the halfway point, lets check in on some former UNC players plying their trade in the pros. While some have stayed in line, we’ve seen a couple make some slightly unexpected breakthroughs early in the 2017-18 season.
The Mavericks are well under .500 this season, but Barnes has put up solid numbers in his second season in Dallas. His points per game are slightly down from last year, but he’s still going for over 18 per game. Barnes has also upped his rebound numbers to over six a game, which he’s previously never done in the pros or in his two years in Chapel Hill.
