UNC Basketball Career Stats: 19.0 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 57.7 FG%

Not many players can say that they had a stronger three-year stretch of college basketball than Antawn Jamison.

Just short of averaging a double-double for his career, Jamison was a star under the direction of both Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge. His list of accolades includes:

3x All-ACC selection
2x Consensus All-American
2x NCAA All-Region selection
ACC Player of the Year
Naismith Award Winner
Wooden Award Winner
Rupp Trophy Winner
ACC Tournament MVP

Even though the Tar Heels didn’t secure a national championship during his time in Chapel Hill, Jamison still played a focal role on two UNC basketball teams that made trips to the Final Four in consecutive seasons.
