Good or Bad?

Luka Bogavac had some game against Radford. He was UNC's leading scorer with 19 points. He led the team in +/- with +26. He led the team with two steals and was tied for most assists with five. But he was extremely inefficient, shooting 7-for-18 from the field (3-for-11 from three, and at one point 0-for-5).

It was a weird night in Chapel Hill, so I'll give Bogavac some grace. Not getting game action in the two exhibition games could be having some lingering effects on his form. But goodness me, you should not need 18 shots to score 19 points!

Having said that, there is clear evidence of a baller here. He's a great passer, contested his fair share of rebounds, and seems to have a nose for the ball. A few more weeks of live, full-speed action should get him prepared for ACC action. UNC will need him playing at a high level, with much more efficiency, to make up for Seth Trimble's absence.
