Kenny Williams' Junior Leap

Posted Nov 24, 2017
There seems to be an extra spring in the step of Kenny Williams this season. "I definitely feel a lot better," the UNC junior said after Thursday's 102-78 win over Portland in the first round of the PK80. "I think that is from all the working out I had to do, and I think it's paying off." Roy Williams, however, thinks it's more of the same excellent defense he saw last season. (Inside Carolina)
