Roy Williams on Kerwin Walton, Syracuse, and more

Posted Jan 11, 2021
"We're doing everything we can to get (Kerwin Walton) to be more vocal on the defensive end, and he is getting better," Roy Williams said. "But to be a good defensive player, you have to be aggressive, very vocal, and that's not his nature. But, at the same time, it has to be there or there's times you can't be in the game. So, he's getting better." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
