2010-11 Roster

So after the addition of Justin Knox, it looks like Roy Williams and co. are done recruiting for the upcoming season. Kadeem Jack is said to be headed back to prep school, and I haven't heard word about Kevin Noreen over the past week, or two. So, with all that being said, here's what the Carolina line-up shakes out to be next season (in order of class and minus walk-ons):

PG - Larry Drew II, Kendall Marshall
SG - Justin Watts, Dexter Strickland, Leslie McDonald, Reggie Bullock
SF - Will Graves, Harrison Barnes
PF - Justin Knox, John Henson
C - Tyler Zeller

As we can all see, we're a bit light in the frontcourt. Zeller has been injury-prone since getting to Chapel Hill, so it's difficult to believe that this year will be any different. If Zeller, Knox, or Henson go down, look for Barnes and Graves to split time at the four, just to cover the bases. I bet we'll see Graves pick up more minutes at the four anyway, as he was a complete defensive liability last year on the perimeter.

I'd imagine that the starters at the beginning of the season will be: Drew, Strickland, Barnes, Henson, and Zeller. But, look for Reggie Bullock to push hard for the starting 2 guard spot, especially since he's 6'6", and a good rebounder. Kendall Marshall might even give Larry Drew a go at the point, but I bet Drew remains the starter throughout, with Marshall picking up more and more minutes as the season progresses.
