Larry Drew hopes to jump start North Carolina
Posted Sep 9, 2009
Before the season begins, new North Carolina point guard Larry Drew wants Tar Heels fans to understand one thing: He’s not as fast as Ty Lawson. And he never will be. “Ty’s version of fast is on a whole different level than everyone else’s,” Drew said of his predecessor. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t do my job. I’m still fast enough to do well in the North Carolina system.”
