Anthony Harris

Harris was played sparingly in this one, and his production reflects that. He scored two points on a 1-for-3 shooting performance and had one assist. His lack of production obviously has a lot to do with how many minutes he played, but based on his lack of impact on the game overall, it’s tough to give him too high of a grade.

Kerwin Walton

Walton played a season-low six minutes in the Tar Heels’ win over Furman, and he doesn’t have a single statistic in the box score to show for his time on the court. His minutes and production continue to go down, and that’s really all we know. Has he lost his shooting stroke? Has he lost his confidence? I honestly don’t know the answer, but a high-performing Kerwin Walton sure would help this UNC squad when other shooters go cold.

Justin McKoy, D’Marco Dunn and Dontrez Styles

Same story, here. Justin McKoy, D’Marco Dunn and Dontrez Styles combined for just three minutes of play, and there’s not a single thing with which to grade their performances — or lack thereof.

The Tar Heels will take the court again on Saturday afternoon when they face off with the fourth-ranked UCLA Bruins in their second-to-last non-conference game of the season. Check back with Keeping It Heel for complete coverage of that game, and everything on the UNC basketball program.
