NBA Tar Heels: Week 6 Review / Week 7 Preview

Each Monday during the NBA season, AllTarHeels will review the prior week and preview the week ahead for each Tar Heel in the NBA.

Isaac Schade | Feb 1, 2021

Each Monday during the NBA season, All Tar Heels will review the prior week for each Tar Heel in the NBA and preview the week ahead. This week, we are looking at games from January 25-31 and looking ahead to games from February 1-7.

Aside from Saturday night's 0-for-5 performance from the three-point line, Wayne Ellington had another scorching week from beyond the arc. In the Pistons' first three games of the week, Ellington was 16-for-26 (61.5 percent) on three-pointers. That means in the seven games combined between last week and the first three games of this week, Ellington was 37-for-62 (59.7 percent) from three. Hard to do much better.

Several other Tar Heels had strong scoring performances this week. Cole Anthony had 21 against Charlotte, Harrison Barnes scored 26 against Toronto, .and Coby White also had a 20-point game (against Portland). Tony Bradley scored a season-high 12 points against Detroit.

Reggie Bullock returned to action on Sunday after missing three games due to a neck injury.

The 76ers are holding tough as the top team in the Eastern Conference and currently have a 2.5 game lead over second-place Brooklyn.

There are currently 12 Tar Heels on NBA rosters, either full time or on a two-way contract.

Here’s a brief look at each Tar Heel in the NBA, what he did in the previous week of games, and a preview of the week ahead.

Note: all times listed are Eastern.

ISAAC SCHADE

I grew up in Atlanta knowing that I was going to be the next Maddux or Glavine or Chipper. Unfortunately, I never grew six feet tall, ran 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, threw 90 m.p.h. on the radar gun, or hit 50 home runs. So I had to find a different way to dive head first into sports - writing about it. My favorite all-time sports moment? 1992. NLCS. Game 7. Sid Bream. Look it up. Worst sports moment ever? Two words: Kris. Jenkins. I live in the bustling metropolis of Webb City, MO, where ministry is my full-time job. I spend my free time with my wife, Maggie, and my two children, Pax & Poppy.
