For the incoming freshmen, they have some heavy names who use to wear their numbers. Here's a look at former Heels who have not only worn the number, but had it honored in the rafters,
2 (Love): Raymond Felton, Wayne Ellington, Marc Campbell, Leslie McDonald, Joel Berry II
4 (Davis): Scott Williams, Isaiah Hicks
11 (Sharpe): Larry Brown, Brice Johnson, Quentin Thomas, Larry Drew II
13 (Kessler): John Dillon, Will Graves, J.P. Tokoto, Kanler Coker
14 (Johnson): Jeff Lebo, Danny Green, Brandon Robinson
24 (Walton): Kobe Bryant (Doesn't count?), Walter Davis, Marvin Williams, Justin Watts, Kenny Williams
25 (Lebo): Jason Capel, Damion Grant, Aaron Rohlman
*Noticeably, Carolina didn't give Lebo his father's jersey. He presumably wants to develop his legacy at the Smith Center.
