On Dexter Strickland replacing Wayne Ellington

Posted Aug 10, 2009
This is an interesting comparison. Their skills sets are very different. Wayne Ellington was a shooter/scorer for the Tar Heels last year. He was their primary shooter and they often put he and Tyler Hansbrough on the same side to try and prevent easy double teaming down low. Strickland is a much better athlete and more of a slasher than Ellington. He will also be much better in transition. (ESPN.com)
