UNC basketball top scorer No. 7: Larry Miller (1965-1968)

  • Career Points: 1982
  • Points Per-Game: 21.8

Not many college athletes can say that they averaged 20 or more points every season that they competed, but former UNC basketball star Larry Miller can.

Miller was what is now called a “walking bucket,” as he simply had a knack for putting the ball in the basket. In just three seasons with the program, Miller was a vital part of two Final Four runs, as he’s another player that would have easily surpassed the 2,000 career points mark had four years of playing time.
