## Resource

North Carolina’s basketball team is entering a bold new era under head coach Michael Malone, who’s already reshaped the roster with a major backcourt upgrade featuring Terrence Brown Jr., Matt Able, and Neoklis Avdalas — all poised to bring consistency and scoring. But the frontcourt overhaul is the real test, as Malone replaces a dominant core with promising newcomers like Sayon Keita and Alexandros Samodurov alongside returning Jarin Stevenson. Early success hinges on how quickly this new unit gels — and if Malone can get them clicking fast, he might have built something even better than last year’s roster.
