11) Brandon Huffman

2018-19 stats:

2.4 MPG, 1.2 PPG, 0.9 RPG, 0.0 APG, 0.1 SPG, 0.1 BPG, 0.1 TPG
66.7 FG%, 0.0 3P%, 75.0 FT%

Best game:

12/5 vs. UNC-Wilmington: Seven points, three rebounds, 3-of-3 shooting, and 1-of-1 from the free throw line

Advanced data:

Huffman’s shooting percentage is more than 12 points higher than that of his freshman season. His free throw percentage is up almost 20 points, too, though he’s attempted just four shots from the charity stripe through the team’s first 19 games.

0: The number of assists that Huffman has recorded this season. He’s the only Tar Heel on the roster without at least one assist.

Extra credit: Huffman has the best bench antics and GIF faces since former UNC big man Joel James.

Synopsis:

Huffman is seeing fewer minutes on the court than he was a season ago, what with his position in the rotation coming behind both Garrison Brooks and Sterling Manley. His positive attitude and team focus persists, though, and he’s answered the bell any time his number has been called.
