Each Monday during the NBA season, All Tar Heels will review the prior week for each Tar Heel in the NBA and preview the week ahead. This week, we are looking at games from April 19-25 and looking ahead to games from April 26 - May 2. Hard to believe, but there are only three weeks left in the regular season.

One great piece of news from this week is that Justin Jackson is back in the NBA, having signed a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Reggie Bullock and Theo Pinson, along with the rest of the Knicks, are currently on a nine-game winning streak. Pinson, despite his lack of playing time, has received renown for being an outstanding teammate.

Several Tar Heels had strong scoring performances throughout the week. Cole Anthony scored at least 14 points in all three of Orlando's games this week.

Bullock has scored in double-figures in eight of the nine games of the Knicks' winning streak, including 16, 18, and 16 this week.

Not to be outdone, Harrison Barnes scored at least 20 points in all three of Sacramento's games this week, including 23 on Sunday night against Golden State.

Despite the successful weeks of Anthony, Bullock, and Barnes, it was Coby White who stole the show from a scoring standpoint. In the early part of the week, he scored 14, 18, and 19. But he capped it all off with 31 points on Saturday night, the highest scoring game of the week for a Tar Heel.

There are currently 12 Tar Heels on NBA rosters, either full time or on a two-way contract.

Here’s a brief look at each Tar Heel in the NBA, what he did in the previous week of games, and a preview of the week ahead.
