NBA Tar Heels: Week Eight Assessment / Week 9 Preview

By Mitch Rapp Last updated Feb 15, 2021

During the NBA season, All Tar Heels review the previous week for each Tar Heel in the NBA every Monday and preview the week ahead. This week we’re watching the games February 8-14, and we’re looking forward to the games February 15-21.

Coby White had the biggest single game rating for a tar heel this week, finishing at 30 in a 129-116 win over the Pelicans on Wednesday. It was his second 30-point game that season. White ended up with eight three-pointers, most of which he made in a single NBA game.

After barely playing for the first few months of the season, Justin Jackson really started getting involved with the Thunder. In his four games that week, he had three of his most successful results of the season – 14, 20 and 22.

On Injury News, Cole Anthony missed Orlando’s last three games with a right shoulder problem.

There are currently 12 tar heels on NBA lists, either full-time or on a two-way contract.

Here’s a quick look at every Tar Heel in the NBA, what it did over the past week of play, and a sneak preview of the week ahead.
