The departure of Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington interrupts a nice run for Roy Williams, who had either Raymond Felton or Lawson at the helm of his breakneck offense in five of the past six years. The prospect of turning over the reins to Larry Drew II, a version of a late-career Quentin Thomas, can’t be all that appealing – even as the Heels won the ’09 title, Williams put in a call to John Wall, this year’s can’t-miss prospect at point guard.
