Drake Powell's sense of exploration with his pull-up jumper is paying off. Points per pull-up attempt: - 27th %ile in EYBL 16-U - 39th %ile in EYBL 17-U - 71st %ile as a HS senior. Able to get low on set ups and take long gathers while staying on balance. More consistent squaring of shoulders with added core strength will mean further gains. The leap in competition at UNC will be an adjustment, but I buy the progress over time.

Not only can Hubert Davis comfortably rest multiple starters at the same time this season, he can even depend on those bench lineups to extend leads and spur runs. @FreeportKid provides the data (VIP): 247sports.com/college/north-…

RJ Davis of @UNC_Basketball has scored at least 25 points and gone 5-for-5 or better from the free throw line in four straight games. This is tied for the longest streak by a D-I player this century, along with Stephen Curry in 2008.

Looking forward to ESPN’s statement that this was an unfortunate error that arose when they meant to artificially promote Duke to #1.
