It's a different deal when you are the focus of the other teams defense. Ed Davis found the going tough in that same scenario his 2nd season. McAdoo is a freak athlete, who is a good rebounder and put back guy at this point. Needs to improve his shooting, his defense, and post moves. He will have to do that being the absolute focus of the defense. I think he will do well, but it is a huge step up in both minutes per game, and the fact he will be the target.
UNC will be a good team, and it really depends on Paige, and the 2nd big on the floor with McAdoo. Roy may have to play Bullock at the 4 spot to get his five best offensive players on the floor. Roy prefers playing 2 bigs, his five best offensive players, and a frantic pace. That may be difficult this season given the personnel. Still a Top 25 team at worst though.
