In case you haven’t heard, Roy Williams and the North Carolina basketball program are in search of elite front court players.
Why, you ask? Maybe it’s because Williams’ title teams in 2005, 2009 and 2017 were absolutely loaded with talented big men. Perhaps, it’s because he’s coached the likes of Sean May, Tyler Hansbrough, Tyler Zeller, John Henson, Brice Johnson and Kennedy Meeks during his tenure in Chapel Hill.
It’s probably safe to assume that his lack of traditional bigs over the last year-plus – and having to play small ball last season – has only enhanced his effort in finding the program’s next prolific post player.
