UNC frontcourt struggled through injury-riddled 2022-23 | Why the drop-off from Final Four run?

North Carolina’s 2022-23 frontcourt personnel consisted of ACC Preseason Player of the Year Armando Bacot, Pete Nance, Jalen Washignton, Justin McKoy, and Will Shaver. We’ve already recapped the position groups for the backcourt (Caleb Love, RJ Davis, Seth Trimble, D’Marco Dunn) and the wings (Leaky Black, Puff Johnson, Dontrez Styles, Tyler Nickel), so it’s now time to evaluate the frontcourt. What led to a downturn from the previous season? Was it the lack of shooting from the 4 position? Was it Armando Bacot’s injuries scattered throughout the season?

Host Isaac Schade and Coach Pac Kilby look back at the season for the Tar Heels’ frontcourt. What went well? What was a success? What were the failures? How can Hubert Davis and staff learn from both in advance of next season?

Dr. Toussaint C. Adams says:

“Develop what you got.” Amen and amen! Jalen Washington needs to start at the 4.

Puerto Rican Musician Socialist says:

We can NEVER forget how GOOD Brady Manek was! If Hubby wants success he needs guys like that, who can shoot over length AND can come off screens to get QUICK shots!

jeffrey Polly says:

Front court struggled under HD. Roy Williams bigs usually flourished in his system no matter what. Time will tell but injury definitely hampered our team this year

Stephen B says:

Can you please do an episode on Washington’s potential role for next season. I have seen comments that are all over the place. Do you think Hubert plans for him to be a starting 4? Backup 5? Split? Do you think having him play a hybrid role could land him in the same space as we found Pete nance in?

Stephen Paul Smith says:

You have to just love the wealth of basketball facts that you learn from this channel.

Robert Prescott says:

Pete needed to be a stretch 5

Stay vigilant! says:

I think Washington has to make that sophomore jump that guys use to make under Roy. If he can were good . Withers should be good enough to start also but we'll see

Tomas Johnson says:

The front court was singular ! Like I've said before (watch the tapes) when bacot got the ball, you had 4 teammates standing still out on the perimeter watching bacot work. There's the problem folks. The view is night and day from the sideline to me watching from my TV. But now if you can't see that problem… I don't get it man 🤷‍♂️

Christian Williams says:

We gotta comparing everybody playing forward to Brady Manek. Brady is of the greatest shooters in college bball history. Dime a dozen. So quit crying

UNC 910 says:

Washington better get at least 20 min a game. Some at the 4 and backup 5 minutes. His midrange/ baseline face up game showed nicely in limited minutes (thanks hubert)

Tony Dowd says:

Washington is going to kill it this off season. He'll be in shape both faster and stronger, ready to go by November.
X Factor for sure…..
Mondo MUST stay healthy for the HEELS to be successful.
