Hawaii: C Ido Flaisher

The freshman center from Israel is averaging eight points and six boards in just under 12 minutes per game. At 6’10 he is the tallest Warrior by two inches. Hawaii will need every bit of that as they try to keep Meeks and Hicks off the boards.

North Carolina: C Tony Bradley

Bradley has been a great add to this Heels team. He is taking the minutes that Hicks took last season and running with them. So far this year he is averaging 10.7 points and six rebounds in a little over 16 minutes per game.

The freshman phenom is also running the floor and fitting in nicely with the second team. His value has become bigger with the news that Luke Maye will be out for several more weeks this season.
