And, perhaps even better than that, there is a real chance that Roy is forced to play a shorter rotation next year. As is, there are no significant recruits coming to UNC in this upcoming class. With Simmons and Hubert graduating, there will only be the two options at C (Meeks and James) and two options at PF (Johnson and Hicks). So Roy will be forced to play his main guys more minutes next year, which is to UNC's advantage.
I agree UNC looks like they will be solid next year.
If Roy doesn't have a large rotation, who does he sacrifice when he and the coaching staff need to get away to avoid a court storming?
