Cormac Ryan

Ryan will be the “third guard” in the starting lineup, as his three-point shooting and veteran presence should be very beneficial for this Tar Heels team.

His shooting numbers took a hit last season, but this is still a guy who shot 45.4% from the floor (including 40.7% from three-point range) a season prior, so with some open space and some fast-paced play, it’s very possible that Ryan could come close to (or surpass) those numbers in Chapel Hill.
