“Dunn is maybe the biggest mystery on Carolina's roster this season,” Inside Carolina’s Sherrell McMillan says, “He hasn't played much since his senior season at Fayetteville (NC) Westover, but brought with him a reputation as a three-point marksman. Both players have seen increased opportunities in the preseason as Love continues to recover from a hamstring injury. All signs point to Trimble being ahead in that race, but Coach Davis’s stated desire to expand the rotation this season could open the door for Dunn, especially early in the season. Freshman Seth Trimble and Dunn will battle for backup time behind Caleb Love and RJ Davis. Playing aggressive defense and cashing in on opportunities on the offensive end will help this Carolina team and earn Dunn more time on the court. How Dunn adapts to his potential role will determine how much the sophomore will see the floor.
He is excellent defensively,” Davis said, “D'Marco Dunn is a guy that can really shoot the basketball. Hubert Davis’s comments this summer shed light on how Dunn can see the floor in his second season.

His 29 percent shooting (20 percent from three) highlighted his inability to find any rhythm on the court last season. He averaged 1.0 points and 0.3 rebounds per game in a freshman season thin in opportunities. Dunn, a 6-foot-5, 190-pound guard, appeared in 23 games and averaged only 4.1 minutes per contest. The former 247Sports Composite four-star prospect was not given the chance to show what he could do in year one. D'Marco Dunnenters his sophomore season looking for a chance on a loaded North Carolina roster.
