As a '02 graduate, I ask the same rule of thumb question of every new roster: Would either Kris Lang or Jason Capel be a starter on this team?

If yes, we might still be good, but we're not a contender. If no, we have a chance at a FF run.

Unfortunately, Kris Lang would start for this team, and I will temper expectations accordingly.

Worse players than Capel or Lang have started on FF teams at UNC.

That team was not purely because of Lang and Capel, it was mostly the other players that we all know would not start on any other UNC team.

Lang wasn't horrible. Capel needed to lose the triple pump fake.

Of course I disagree, I don't believe Lang or Capel would start on this years team.
 
Pondering weak links…

The ‘57 team was of another era (though they did defeat a team with one of the greatest players ever as well as a squad that had a pretty good Johnny Green along the way).

Doherty comes to mind - then Pat Sullivan but he wasn’t often a starter in ‘93. Melvin Scott perhaps in ‘05? 2009 & 2017? Can’t see it.

Mahktar N'Djaie should be the captain of the all-weak link team. Coach Gut started him 5 out of every 6 games.

I'm almost sure Lang would start at power forward for this team. There is no way Withers, Lubin or Tyson would beat out Lang.
 
I'm going to just go ahead and say I trust Hubert. I trusted Dean, Roy and tried to trust Matt but when you screw with the gate keeper's and support staff maybe you should adjust or remove yourself from the situation?

And I will not argue against that. He wasn't a bad player, that was just a bad team.
 
I definitely don't think anyone would have called him being the most successful pro on that team. He did out-earn everyone else on the team individually, but not the rest of the team combined - several guys had long, productive NBA careers. Career earnings, according to bball reference:

  • Danny - $104 m
  • Wayne - $48 m
  • Ed Davis - $47 m
  • Lawson - $43 mil
  • Zeller - $17 m
  • Hansbrough - $16 m
I think we all knew coming out of college that Hansbrough had limitations, but I don't think there's any way I would have foreseen everyone on that list out-earning him in NBA money.
 
Have they announced the line ups for blue white game?

Also, who is your top 8 on the team this year?
Without really knowing anything, or reading up on anybody, a quick guess is the 5 returning players plus Drake, Ian and Lubin.
 
No idea. Not a particular fan of information free decisions even when nobody cares about or wants to hear it. But don't let me stop you.

Safe bet…but I’d place Tyson ahead of Lubin — Tyson has a good shot at starting as does Jackson. Here’s hoping we’ll see a Top Nine.
 
Hopefully we’ll get some good reports back from posters who attend the game today.

AS A REMINDER, PLEASE DON’T PIRATE IC (or any other site’s) PREMIUM INFO HERE.

No harm with general news summaries — IC is reporting blah blah but don’t cut and paste their content from premium boards here.

Of course links to their site are perfectly fine.
