The pickup games at the University of North Carolina are always something special.
Each year former, current, future players and even students are seen playing pickup games at several courts across campus.
Sometimes the players will surprise students and play a game of pickup outdoors in the middle of the day or night. Heck, a freshman may even dunk all over you just like Seventh Woods did in 2016.
Just a few days ago, a few players took part in a pickup game on campus as they continued the tradition.

There aren’t a whole lot of details about the pickup game right now but as you can see current players Luke Maye, Joel Berry and Theo Pinson are out there with former players such as Marcus Paige, Jawad Williams and Rasheed Wallace.
There’s even some video at the Carolina Blue link below.
Thanks to our friend Ross Martin over at Carolina Blue, we have a few more names to add to the list. Former players Tyler Hansbrough and Vasco Evtimov were also there.
Future players like Brandon Huffman and Black played in the game as well.
It’s likely that there will be at least a few more of these games that pop up this summer, so if you’re a student on campus be alert. Check back with Keeping It Heel for more on UNC Basketball.
