Kyan Evans - Scoreless off the bench Evans accumulated zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 11 minutes during Saturday's 84-78 loss to California.

Impact Evans came off the bench for the first time this season and had more turnovers (two) than points in just 11 minutes of action. Over his last four games, Evans is averaging just 2.5 ppg while shooting 20 percent from the floor. Meanwhile, freshman Derek Dixon drew the start and scored 14. While the end result was still a loss, Dixon may have made a case to take over more of Evans' playing time moving forward.

Derek Dixon - Role growing Dixon amassed 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 84-78 loss to California.

Impact Despite going scoreless in just 11 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Stanford, Dixon made his first start of the season Saturday, and the freshman matched his best career scoring total while finding some rhythm from distance. He made the start in place of Kyan Evans, who was scoreless in just 11 minutes of action. The two have essentially split time at point guard over the last five games, a position that's overall been a weakness for the Tar Heels so far. While the end result Saturday was UNC's second consecutive loss, Dixon may have made a case to be on the top end of that platoon moving forward. Next up is a home matchup against Notre Dame on Wednesday.
