I know it was just one game. But I didn't find any of the UNC to be guys who I thought would make a significant mark in the NBA.
Are you kidding? I know Barnes is a little tentative, but he has all the tools for the NBA game. He will probably be even better in the NBA where there is more floor spacing. He is a 6'8 point forward with a nice touch. Zeller is a legit 7 footer who runs the floor like a Gazelle. You are very hard to please.
I'm not at all sold on Zeller. He's big. He's smart. But I don't think that his physical skill is superior. I'm thinking that he finds a role like the guy from Kansas who's on OKC (Collison ?)---star in college but reasonable role player in NBA.
If those UNC guys are that good, how did we take them to OT. Yes, they lacked their point guard. But they were about 4-5 inches taller at every position.
I'm not hard to please. I'm realistic. I was at the game. On that night, at least, no one on the oppo was particularly impressive.
