Roy Williams jokes Jayson Tatum 'made a bad decision' picking Duke over UNC
Posted Sep 29, 2018
Jayson Tatum at UNC? Roy Williams tried to make it happen. Williams chatted with NBC Sports during the Celtics' preseason opener. The Tar Heels coach said he tried to recruit Tatum, but some bad decision-making led him to Duke. "Just a fantastic player, 6-7, 6-8, could be your point guard, could shoot it from the outside, can take it to the basket," Williams said about Tatum.
