The thing is, "if" we get Cole Anthony, Anthony's mindset is more of a pass first PG that can score on anyone when he needs to. His first option is to look for the sweet dish or slip for the assist which IMO is different from what we had with Joel or Coby, who I considered more score first types of PG, what we like to call combos. My point is with a pass first PG you really need to have him both inside as well as outside spot up shooters for him to find. IN steps the Tucker kid to fill that void, if we are so fortunate.
Speaking of "if we could be so fortunate", none of us know what we will have with Frances next season nor do we really know if we will have him (or if he ends up red shirting). Coming off a 2yr lay off and micro fracture procedure who the heck knows at this point. BUT IF, we can get this kid healthy, when he gets his game legs back, Frances is much better than folks seem to think, he was being projected as a Micky D kid before the medical procedures stopped his progression.
Funny how fickle UNC fans can be at times, 7th Woods came in to several games this season and played really well, yes his play of late has dropped off hard, something is wrong physically with him again, I to have heard there may be a knee issue going on that he is trying to play thru but nothing official. But even after watching what the kid has done in multiple games this season all the sudden he is yet again a bust? Hard for me to understand after what we have seen but will acknowledge that he seems to stay hurt and when he is hurt he is a shadow of himself when he is healthy. But I do consider him to be a very important part of next years team if he can stay healthy.
Leaky Black, can not over state how impressed I have been with that kid, I am surprised that he has shown us as much aggressive offense, he was a bit shy to shoot and Roy seems to have brought out his ability to score and I love that! 6'8" and has shown us a nice jump shot, is he the kid that will be our next to step in to the middle of a zone and nail mid range jumpers? I know this, at that length and with those extra long arms even for his height, we may have a future ACC DPOY, he is a walking match up nightmare!
Don't forget, in addition to Brooks, we have 3 other guys that will be juniors that are all 6'10", with these more project type big men, it is usually their Jr seasons when we see them begin to break out as factor players, don't be so quick to write them off based on our past history of development of similar type of players.
I would caution, many seem to feel Bacot will come in and dominate and I agree, he will get the shot but it usually takes our big men a while to adjust to this level of play so for myself I am going to temper my expectations a bit more than most for his frosh season.
