Looking at five center options for UNC basketball
UNC men's basketball lost star center Henri Veesaar to the NBA Draft, and now needs to find a replacement. The Tar Heels are exploring five center options from the transfer portal, including Massamba Diop, Damon Wilkinson, and Aaron Bradshaw.
The UNC men's basketball team lost a key player when Henri Veesaar declared for the NBA Draft. Veesaar averaged 17 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game in his first year as a full-time starter. To replace him, the Tar Heels are targeting centers from the transfer portal. Top prospects include Massamba Diop from Arizona State, who averaged 13.6 points and 2.1 blocks per game as a freshman, and Damon Wilkinson from South Dakota State, who averaged 13.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. Aaron Bradshaw, a 7'1" center from Memphis, is another option, having averaged 8.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in 22 starts. The Tar Heels need an experienced, dominant big man to fill the gap left by Veesaar's departure.
