Elliot Cadeau and Zayden High both made their collegiate debuts at the same time.

 

Just after the first media timeout in North Carolina’s season opener Monday against Radford, the two Tar Heel freshmen came off the bench together.

 

They immediately tried to show the older players how it was done.

 

A minute into their time on the floor, High weaved his way through traffic as the Tar Heels ran in transition.

 

From more than half a court-length away, Cadeau saw him and threw a bounce pass. The window was impossibly small, but the ball found its way through to Cadeau’s target.

 

It was an incredible pass just to reach High. It wasn’t perfect, however, and it needed to be. It was slightly behind High, and he had to slow and turn back to try to retrieve it.

 

 

He couldn’t hold on, and Radford came away with it.

 

Just like that, two of Elliot Cadeau’s first three collegiate passes resulted in turnovers.

 

This is the guy many call the best point guard in the freshman class?

 

The best point guard entering college this year is deaf in one ear, speaks fluent Swedish and, apparently, had opening-night jitters.

 

Cadeau quickly found his sea legs. He ended up logging 19 minutes in the game and dishing out a game-high six assists.

 

 

It was the fourth-highest assist total recorded by a UNC freshman in his debut game. Raymond Felton and Ed Cota are two of the players ahead of him. Most importantly, Cadeau didn’t turn it over again.

 

“It was really different for me,” Cadeau said. “I’ve never played in front of a crowd like this. I’ve never played in front of a student section before.

 

 

It was an adjustment for me coming off the bench. I never really did that before, so it was a little adjustment.”

 

Two minutes later, High again sprinted down court. From just short of half court, Cadeau let fly with another pass ahead. This one wasn’t quite high enough, and a defender directly in front of Cadeau was able to leap up and bat the ball away to a teammate.
