Leadership an issue for UNC
Posted Jan 23, 2009
This still could be one of North Carolina's best ever teams. No one questions the Tar Heels' talent or their experience. But do they have a true leader? "I don't think we have one.," point guard Ty Lawson said. The elite Tar Heel teams had leaders like Phil Ford, James Worthy and George Lynch -- players who would lift their teammates and rise to the big moments. Can this team become elite without a personality like that?
