Nassir Little Is Learning the Hard Way

Posted Dec 20, 2018
Nassir Little wasn't worried that North Carolina and coach Roy Williams had a reputation for not being one-and-done friendly. He actually liked that the Tar Heels were the lone program in his final five schools that didn't promise him he could be a "Day 1 starter." "I was always taught, if you earn something, you can keep it," Little says, "but if it's given to you, you can get it taken away." (Bleacher Report)
