Inside former UNC star Day'Ron Sharpe’s NBA draft party

Posted Jul 31, 2021
Day'Ron Sharpe's focus and determination is why Roy Williams closed his speech by noting the high expectations he has for Sharpe’s career. "I made this promise to several guys and I’m making it to Day'Ron right now," Williams said. "I’ll see your first NBA game. If I live long enough, I’ll see your last. I told that to Paul Pierce, and he played 19 years." (MSN.com)
