The North Carolina Tar Heels are undergoing a massive makeover this season, and their offensive production will likely come from some fresh faces. UNC has a completely new look from top to bottom heading into the 2026-27 campaign. After a second-straight first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament, the Tar Heels fired head coach Hubert Davis and replaced him with former NBA champion Michael Malone.Mar 19, 2026; Greenville, SC, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Hubert Davis instructs his team against the VCU Rams in the first half of a first round game of the men's 2026 NCAA Tournament at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

Pretty much the entire roster aside from a few returners is either entering the NBA Draft or is with another program after entering the transfer portal, and a lot of production on the offensive end has gone completely out the window.Notably, the Tar Heels are losing their top-three scorers from last season. Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar are headed for the NBA Draft, and Seth Trimble has run his eligibility thin. Those three players were the only Tar Heels to average double-digits last season, and now they’ll need to find production elsewhere.
