What to Watch For

Dana O'Neil from ESPN wrote an article about the players to watch in the upcoming season and there are two Heels mentioned on this list. Ed Davis and Tyler Zeller are the victims on this list, but this isn't a Madden Curse dealio here. O'Neil mentions that if Zeller can be just an impression of Hansbrough, then the Heels should be in good shape. She says of Davis that Roy will have a hard time selling the "woe is Carolina" line to people because he was projected as a top-five pick in this year's draft.

Now, everybody is excited about Davis because he could be what Marvin Williams was supposed to be before he decided he was too cool for school. Ed Davis is going to be big time and it will be exciting to watch him become an All-ACC First Team performer.

Zeller is a wild card next year. He will not be Tyler Hansbrough, but that's ok with me. He just needs to play in his role. Remember that Zeller has a good offensive game, which would greatly balance out Davis's defensive game (Yes, Davis will be better on the offensive end). The wrist injury really set Zeller back, but I imagine he is hard at work this summer and hopefully gets a little quicker and stronger for this next season.

In all reality, I think Zeller will be around for his 4 years (3 1/2 if you want to be technical) and I believe Davis will be gone after this year, but you never know. Bottom line is that UNC will have the best front court in the nation. BOO-YAH!
