Next wave of guards ready for spotlight

Posted Jul 19, 2009
UNC sophomore Larry Drew II has a message for those who are thinking big when it comes to the 2009-10 ACC basketball season: "Don't underestimate the little guys." Five point guards from last year's All-ACC teams have moved on, leaving a surplus of post players eager to try to take center stage. But the ballhandlers who remain -- and the new ones ready to emerge -- will be determined to prove the league's backcourts aren't rebuilding, but reloading. (Raleigh News & Observer)
