No. 25 North Carolina (23-14, 13-7 ACC)

The Tar Heels have 11 new players and five returnees from last year’s NCAA Tournament team. Six transfers and an international player join the roster amid pressure for Hubert Davis’ fifth season. The Tar Heels are picked third in the ACC.

Players to watch

Caleb Wilson (freshman, F, 6-10, 215). The McDonald’s all-American is a top NBA prospect and likely one-and-done candidate with athleticism and length.

Henri Veesaar (redshirt junior, C, 7-0, 225, 9.4 ppg). Veesaar averaged 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks last year at Arizona. UNC desperately missed a consistent frontcourt presence last season.

Seth Trimble (senior, G, 6-3, 200, 11.7 ppg). The veteran stepped into a larger offensive role to become last year’s No. 3 scorer.
