Role Players:

Jawad Williams (’01-’05)

One of the very few, true, stretch-four’s in Roy Williams era, Jawad was a great compliment for the eventual National Championship team in 2005.

For his Carolina career he averaged 12.7 points and 4.8 rebounds a game. His sophomore year was his highest average with 14.9 points.

Williams is still playing professionally overseas.

Kendall Marshall (’10-’12)

One of the best true point guards in Carolina history, Marshall had a career average of eight assists per game.

After taking over as the starter halfway through his sophomore year, he was the main catalyst for that high-octane offense. Averaging 9.8 assists his senior year, he won the Bob Cousy Award and was named a third team All-American.

He holds the all time ACC record in assists in a single season with 311.

David Noel (’02-’06)

One of the best leaders in Roy Williams’ era, he was the main reason why the 2006 team exceeded expectations.

After averaging only 5.1 points his first three years, he averaged 12.9 ppg and 6.8 rpg his senior year. That year propelled him up draft boards and got him drafted in the second round of the 2006 NBA Draft.
