UNC Basketball: Best lineups for remainder of 2020-21 season
By Zack Pearson
Something we could see happening as time goes on
This is another solid option I think we could see in a matter of weeks. This one hinges on sophomore Anthony Harris getting his legs under him and fully returning. Harris made his debut on Saturday afternoon in the loss to Florida State playing just 9 minutes.
But Harris was efficient, scoring 5 points and it felt like the offense just flowed better with him in there. Now, Harris won’t play point guard as Williams has already ruled him out but having him at shooting guard could provide some value especially if Love figures it out in terms of scoring.
This lineup kind of hinges on Love being the primary scorer at guard.
G — Caleb Love
G — Anthony Harris
G/F — Leaky Black
F — Garrison Brooks
F/C — Armando Bacot
Black returns in this lineup as one of UNC’s best defenders and is hot and cold in terms of scoring from the wing. That could be a problem.
As for the paint, UNC is in good hands with Brooks and Bacot as they are the most likely duo to be the starters in the paint. The only change would be Sharpe replacing one of them in those spots, which we have already seen.
