A Legacy of Wings
When historians talk about the most influential players to patrol the wings for the Tar Heels, a handful of names rise above the rest.
Bobby Lewis, who starred from 1964 to 1967, combined a 22.1-point average with 6.1 rebounds, establishing a foundation of scoring and hustle.
Larry Miller followed with back-to-back ACC Player of the Year honors and two consecutive tournament Most Outstanding Player awards, underscoring his dominance in the late 1960s.
Charlie Scott broke barriers as the program’s first African American varsity wing, matching Lewis with a 22.1-point average while adding 7.1 rebounds and a pioneering presence.
Lennie Rosenbluth’s 1956‑57 campaign remains the only perfect season in school history, as he led the team to a 32‑0 record while posting 28 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.
Michael Jordan, though better known for his later NBA legend, posted 17.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists during his UNC years, hinting at the greatness that would soon define the game.
