NBA Tar Heels: Week 19 Review / Week 20 Preview
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 26 - May 2 and looking ahead to games from May 3-9.
Cole Anthony has double figures in 12 straight games and 13 of 14 since coming back from injury. He capped his week with a career-high 26 points, including a career high in makes (10) and attempts (11) from the free throw line.
Reggie Bullock has his own 10-game double digit scoring streak going, and 14 of the last 16.
Coby White is trying to keep up with Anthony and Bullock. White, who continues to be in the Bulls' starting lineup, has scored in double-figures in eight straight games and nine of the last 10.
Several Tar Heels are nicked up or are taking some rest heading into the playoffs. Speaking of which, there are only two weeks remaining in the regular season. Several of the 12 NBA Tar Heels will make the playoffs. We will detail the playoff picture more fully as the time approaches.
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.
