UNC Former Players Compete in NBA Summer League Games

Several college basketball programs are shaping up for the 2025-26 season with notable roster changes and player developments. Missouri Tigers, led by Dennis Gates, are focusing on improving their perimeter shooting, adding transfers like Jayden Stone and Jevon Porter to bolster their 3-point shooting capabilities. The West Virginia Mountaineers, under new coach Ross Hodge, have revamped their lineup with key players like Floyd, Huff, and Lorient, adding depth and versatility, especially at the point guard and forward positions. Virginia Tech men's basketball secured key players Tobi Lawal and Neoklis Avdalas, who withdrew from the NBA Draft to return, adding stability and potential to improve after a disappointing previous season. Meanwhile, UNC basketball has strong representation in the NBA Summer League, including first-round pick Drake Powell and undrafted signees like RJ Davis and Love, showcasing the program's continued influence on professional basketball. Additionally, the Hampton Pirates are set to play North Carolina A&T during the NBA All-Star Week in February 2026, highlighting their presence in major basketball events.
