UNC Basketball: 2015-16 Projected Starting Lineup
By John Bauman
Shooting Guard: Justin Jackson
Backup: Malik Newman
I think Jackson will take significant strides throughout the 2014-15 season offensively, learning how he fits into Carolina’s offensive while also adding shooting and defense off the bench. By his sophomore season, I think he will be ready to start and would be the go-to offensive option on the wing in this starting lineup.

His backup here would be Malik Newman, the first surprise of the article. His presence on the roster is not recruiting knowledge, rather just a guess for who UNC could sign in the Class of 2015. Newman would fit nicely into this team coming off the bench as a scorer. Ranked third in the ESPN 100, he has his college list trimmed down to six schools: Alabama, Arizona, Kentucky, Mississippi State, UNC and UCLA. So before Tar Heel fans can see Malik in a Tar Heel blue uniform, Coach Roy has his work cut out for him on the recruiting trail.
