Impact Freshmen

Tulane: PG Colin Slater

Last season Tulane averaged 11 assists a game. Their best assist artist only averaged 2.4 per game with a season high of seven. He also had five games where he had zero assists. Slater is a true freshman out of Fresno California. The 6’0 prospect has good court vision and should help create more shot options for the Waves.

North Carolina: C Tony Bradley

Could Tony Bradley be the best Post Player for the Heels? It isn’t completely impossible. The departure of Brice Johnson did leave 28 minutes and a double double of opportunity for some lucky player. Though Isaiah Hicks and Kennedy Meeks should take some of those, it will still leave a lot of stats for a third player to collect. Luke Maye wasn’t too impressive last season. That leaves Bradley as someone who could impact the Heels season from the get go.
