North Carolina At Chapel Hill

It’s the 13th week of the 2022-23 North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball roster summer preview series. We have gone through the freshmen (Seth Trimble, Jalen Washington, Tyler Nickel, Will Shaver), the transfer (Pete Nance), the sophomores (D’Marco Dunn, Dontrez Styles), the juniors (Puff Johnson, RJ Davis, Caleb Love), the seniors (Justin McKoy, Armando Bacot). And finally we arrive at the final scholarship player for UNC – super senior Leaky Black, a 6’9″, 205-pound forward from Concord, North Carolina.

Black enters his senior year, round two, primed to be one of the top defenders in the entire country. He doesn’t get the thunderous blocks or overwhelming steal numbers that other nationally recognized defenders often use as a calling card. His defensive worth is in his ability to simply shut down another team’s best scorer at a guard or forward position.

What many people miss is that Black also brings other strong basketball skills to the table. For example, he led the team in free throw percentage last season (min. 10 attempts). Black receives so much defensive recognition that his offensive capabilities are wholly undervalued.

Looking ahead, Black will once again be a starter alongside the remaining other three of the Iron Five – Caleb Love, RJ Davis, and Armando Bacot. Pete Nance projects to be the fifth starter, stepping in for Brady Manek.

When Black needs to be spelled or has foul trouble, Coach Davis has multiple options able to come in for him – Puff Johnson, Dontrez Styles, and Tyler Nickel, to name a few.

Host Isaac Schade and Coach Pac Kilby take you through Black’s game as well as expectations for the upcoming season
