Best 4-5 Spot Duo at Carolina To Date?
- Thread starter ACokeForRoy
- Start date
Zeller and Henson was a great 4-5 combo.
I’m watching the 2012 Duke game now and that was the inspiration for the post! 😎
...with due props to McAdoo/Chamberlain, Kupchak/Lagarde, and then Lagarde/O'Koren.
Meeks and Hicks were not bad as a duo, but I would guess either Perkins/Worthy or Jamison/Carter.
Montross and Lynch needs to be mentioned but hard to top Sam And James
Jamison/Carter was never the 4/5 combo.
You had Jamison/Zwikker. You had Jamison/Ndiaye. You had Jamison/Haywood. And occasionally Okulaja/Jamison thanks to the alphabetic rotation Gut used.
How could I forget about Haywood.
Jamison/Haywood ain't bad either, especially figuring Haywood would have a long NBA career
The problem was Guthridge road his 6 starters pretty hard, and Haywood only averaged 8 mins per game the one season he played with Antawn.
Zwicker did what he could with Jamison. Had a chance to play in a small chapel hill league in like 2002 with some UNC alum. We played Zwickers team and I remember going baseline and in front of me is Zwicker. I found out real quick, it ain't easy getting a shot off against seven feet
Hands down. That was a truly great team that exemplified the inside out UNC game. Of course there were others but those 2 complimented one another so well no doubt.
Man .. I remember that game. Talk about playing with effort and intensity that was some top shelf UNC basketball. Stack and Sheed were one helluva pair no doubt !!
didn’t hurt having Marvin Williams as the backup 4. Liked Jawad a lot, he went through a lot at UNC and glad he was able to finish with a ring.
Worthy has 3 NBA rings. Wallace has 1. Both Perkins and Stack played in NBA finals but never won a title. I think you have to give the edge to Worthy & Perkins. Imagine if Sheed & Stack had hung around Carolina for another year or two. The greatest team that could have been:
1996/1997 UNC Tarheels
PG- Jeff McInnis
SG - Vince Carter
SF - Antawn Jamison
PF - Jerry Stackhouse
C - Rasheed Wallace
Ed Cota
Shammond Williams
Ademola Okulaja
Serge Zwikker
Scary team. Dean’s last year would have been a memorable one.

Or Noel/Hansbrough? Tough call tween those two. Still not as great as some of the other combos.
Cota over McInnis all day everyday. The alley oops with that line would be great
I get what you’re saying but Ed Cota was a freshman during the 1996/1997 season. He comes off the bench with Jeff McInnis as a Senior.
McInnis never makes it to his senior year at UNC. I suspect you're well aware why he was run off.
