Cam Johnson or Wayne Ellington – who would you add to UNC’s 2023-2024 roster?

There’s been one key element to every successful basketball team to come through the University of North Carolina – program-defining players.

Michael Jordan is undoubtedly the greatest player to don a Tar Heels uniform. Antawn Jamison, Sean May, Ty Lawson, Tyler Hansbrough, Joel Berry, Marcus Paige and Kennedy Meeks are just a few of the many greats in recent years.

There’s two more guys who’ve been vital to UNC’s success in the 2000’s – Wayne Ellington and Cam Johnson.

Ellington was a vital perimeter shooter part of the Heels’ 2009 championship team. Johnson, who spent the latter half of his collegiate years at UNC, shot over 50 percent from the field in 2018-2019 and was tabbed as “one of the best shooters in the draft.”

This year’s Carolina squad already has an all-time great in Armando Bacot on the roster, plus one of the best scorers to come through Chapel Hill in R.J. Davis.

If the Heels could add Ellington or Johnson, however, who would fans rather have?

A few UNC fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday night and explained their picks:
