Former Northwestern forward Pete Nance committed to North Carolina on Saturday as a graduate transfer, potentially giving coach Hubert Davis a key piece for another Final Four run.
Nance, a 6-foot-10 forward, averaged 14.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and shot 45% from 3-point range last season. He mostly played at center for the Wildcats, but at UNC he’d likely play power forward in a frontcourt teamed with senior Armando Bacot.
Nance’s ability to shoot from the perimeter should help UNC stretch defenses in the same manner that forward Brady Manek did last season.
