Ed Davis knows NBA can wait

Posted Jun 26, 2009
UNC freshman Ed Davis could have been in New York Thursday night for the NBA draft, but the instead the 6'9" power forward is in Chapel Hill taking summer school classes and working on his game. Davis was projected by many scouts as high as the top five, the lottery for sure, and no one could have blamed Davis had he left, but Davis says he's in no hurry. "If I sit back and think about it, I could have been a millionaire, but the NBA is not going anywhere." (WRAL Sports Fan)
