Why, for Tar Heels’ Luke Maye, draft preparation isn’t about a number. It’s about a fit.
Posted Jun 8, 2019
Former North Carolina star Luke Maye isn’t focused on whether he’ll be drafted into the NBA. It’s whether a team will commit to his future. “I want to go someplace where they want to invest in me and make me better,” said Maye, who committed to the Tar Heels as a walk-on and ended up an All-American and member of the 2017 national championship team.
