It’s week 5 of the 2025-26 UNC Men's Basketball Summer Roster Preview Series. The series started with the 3 freshmen - Caleb Wilson, Zay Denis, & Derek Dixon. We moved to the sophomores in week 4 with West Virginia transfer Joonathan Powell, and now move to one of just a couple returners for Carolina - big man James Brown. Josh Marlow of Heel Tough Blog and Four Corners Podcast joins host Isaac Schade to break it all down! Is James Brown ready to take that sophomore leap for North Carolina Tar Heels basketball? The 6'10" sophomore's potential has fans buzzing. Host Isaac Schade and guest Josh Marlow dissect Brown's game, from his impressive energy to his developing post moves. They explore his limited freshman minutes, visible muscle gains, and projected role for 2025-2026. Will Brown become UNC's go-to bench option in the frontcourt? Bold predictions and over/under stats add spice to the analysis. Tune in for expert insights on how James Brown could reshape the Tar Heels' strategy and impact their ACC championship hopes.
