UNC Basketball: Tar Heels All-Decade Team for 2010s

The Bench

Coby White — The in-state recruit committed to the Tar Heels early on in his recruitment and joined their prize 2018 class that also featured Nassir Little and Rechon Black. While the nation didn’t know about White early on, he made his presence felt right away.

White was fantastic in his one year with the Tar Heels, averaging 16.1 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.5 rebounds. He was the perfect point guard for Williams’ system and the head coach even called him the fastest point guard he’s ever coached. White would go on to be selected with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls.

Theo Pinson — The “Swiss Army Knife” for Williams during his four-year career with the Tar Heels, Pinson could do it all. His versatility was something we haven’t seen in a UNC player in a long time as he could score, pass, rebound and play defense for the Tar Heels. Plus, Pinson’s personality made him a very likable player.

Joel Berry — The Florida native had a successful four-year career at UNC, reaching the Final Four twice and winning it all once. He was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Final Four after UNC beat Gonzaga in 2017 to capture the title.

Berry didn’t start right away but by his sophomore year, he earned his spot. Berry was an all-round playmaker for the Tar Heels and delivered big shot after big shot in his career.

Luke Maye  — LUUUUUUUKE! His biggest moment during his four-year career came as a sophomore after Maye hit the game-winning shot vs. Kentucky to send the Tar Heels to the Final Four. While he didn’t earn a lot of minutes in his first two seasons, Maye left UNC a National Champion, All-ACC Team Honors and numerous academic honors in his career.

The forward was a key piece for UNC in his final two seasons and provided a shooting threat on the perimeter while not shying away from grabbing rebounds in the paint.

John Henson — It was tough leaving Henson off as a starter but he would be a big addition to the bench. In his three seasons at North Carolina, Henson won the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award twice and was a member of the All-ACC Team twice. Henson averaged 10.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in his career with the Tar Heels.
