Impact Freshmen
Clemson: F Elijah Thomas
Thomas did not play the first nine games of the season for the Tigers. Since getting playing time, the freshmen from Dallas, Texas is averaging nine points in 16 minutes of play. He is also shooting 15-20 from the floor in those four games. At 6 foot 9 he will be needed against a deep Carolina front court.
North Carolina: G Brandon Robinson
None of the UNC freshmen looked stellar in the game against Georgia Tech. Robinson gets the call here as he is key to the Tar Heels getting stops against guards until Theo Pinson returns.
The guard is getting more minutes than Seventh Woods and needs to do a better job taking advantage of them. He had shown flashes in his previous two games averaging 16 minutes and getting to the free throw line, where he went 6-7 from the charity stripe.
