If you asked me two of my favorite power forwards who played for the North Carolina Tar Heels, George Lynch and J.R. Reid would come to mind.

Lynch has the second-most steals in UNC basketball history. In addition, he ranks 15th on UNC’s all-time scoring list. Reid ranks 27th in scoring all time with a three-year career at UNC.

Unfortunately, both players failed to make this list.

This does not negate their greatness, however. Other Tar Heels who did not make this list include Pete Brennan, Brice Johnson, Mitch Kupchak, Sean May and many other great power forwards who represent one of the best basketball programs in the nation.

This list is the toughest top five UNC position list, by far. All top five spots could switch places based on how you rank their accomplishments while attending North Carolina.

We can all agree that all of these players were great at UNC and there are many more who belong on this list.
