Posted Jun 21, 2019
North Carolina and Duke are usually two of the best programs in the country, but they showed it yet again during the NBA Draft as their respective rosters combined to make up five of the top 11 picks. North Carolina grad transfer Cameron Johnson, who was lightly recruited out of high school and languished at Pitt, was not expected to go highly in the draft. (WRAL Sports Fan)
