NBA Tar Heels: Week 8 Review / Week 9 Preview

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

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 February 8-14 and looking ahead to games from February 15-21.

Coby White had the biggest single game scoring output for a Tar Heel this week, finishing with 30 in a 129-116 victory over the Pelicans on Wednesday. It was his second 30-point game this season. White finished with eight three-pointers, the most he's made in a single NBA game.

After playing scarcely the first couple months of the season, Justin Jackson has really started to come into his own for the Thunder. In his four games this week, he had three of his highest-scoring outputs of the season - 14, 20, and 22.

In injury news, Cole Anthony has missed Orlando's last three games with a right shoulder issue.

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.

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.
