## Resource

North Carolina’s new coach Michael Malone is already assembling a surprisingly deep roster for 2026, with a standout bench that could outperform expectations. Maximo Adams, a versatile scorer who’s now a key bench spark plug, and Kevin Thomas, a lockdown defender with elite stats, are poised to make major impacts. Meanwhile, the frontcourt is getting a boost with emerging big men Sayon Keita and Cade Bennerman, and possibly Alexandros Samodurov, setting the stage for a breakout season under Malone’s leadership.
