UNC's Jawad Williams chases NBA dream
Posted Jun 18, 2005
Jawad Williams, starting power forward for the national champion North Carolina Tar Heels is now just No. 40 on Team 5, another ordinary model on a loaded showroom floor at the league's Pre-Draft Camp in downtown Chicago. "This," he says, "is a chance for me to enjoy myself and go out and do what I do best. I'm not trying to play above my head."
