The Sleeper- Jae’Lyn Withers

Withers, a transfer from Louisville, hasn’t played in the UNC basketball program’s exhibition games or in the ‘Live Action’ scrimmage.

When he returns to action, he is definitely a player who can be a true “sleeper” for the Tar Heels.

One of the most athletic players on the floor, Withers provides size and athleticism. He also can shoot the basketball from essentially anywhere on the floor, as his ability to stretch the floor is also a very valuable asset for this year’s team.

Put it all together, and you have a player who has the makings of being a huge impact player for the UNC basketball program.
