As we gaze into the crystal ball for next year, it looks murky - who sees the floor more between Kennedy Meeks and Joel James? Or does Desmond Hubert get another shot at the starting lineup?

We return from the Boo Williams Invitational to give a full account of who was most impressive, how Justin Jackson and Joel Berry will fit into Roy Williams' system, and what recruits we most want to see playing for Duke and Carolina in the future.

UNC lacked depth in the post this season, but next year looks to be absolutely stacked. That leaves us wondering who will get the lion's share of minutes off the bench, and what will it take for James Michael McAdoo to have a bounce-back year?

P.J. Hairston returns and is likely to play a starring role for the Heels, but what should we backup J.P. Tokoto as he is likely to get a much bigger share of minutes?

With Reggie Bullock out the door, options at the 2 get significantly thinner. Who can Carolina expect to step up?

In our first installment of previews for next year's Tar Heel team, we look at Carolina's floor general Marcus Paige and his backups. How favorably does Paige compare with UNC PG greats of the past?

In other extremely premature news, LeBron James' son is expected to contend for his first NBA MVP in 2030.

A great game from both Michigan and Louisville ends in the Cardinals justifiably being crowned the year's best team.
