Boost off the bench

If Williams wants to change things up or if Brooks struggles, he could go with a simple change to the previous lineup. This one has just one change and it’s Sharpe replacing Brooks in the lineup.

Brooks would come off the bench in this scenario, potentially giving the Tar Heels a boost. We have already seen this happen as he was benched for a few games out of the starting lineup this season, being replaced by Sharpe. It’s a small change but it wouldn’t be a surprising one if Williams went this route.

G — Caleb Love

G — Kerwin Walton

F — Leaky Black

F — Day’Ron Sharpe

F/C — Armando Bacot

Sixth man: Garrison Brooks

Another option I’d consider on here is switching Love with Davis. Love coming off the bench with Brooks could provide another boost for the Tar Heels when Roy does want to make a sub.
