Roy Williams Previews 2009-10 Tar Heels

Posted Oct 12, 2009
Roy Williams: “Marcus’s health is better than it’s been in the last year and a half. He’s got his explosiveness back and he’s more confident than he’s been in a long time. ... "He has enough savvy to handle (playing multiple positions, including point guard). I think it’s a great asset to have someone with Marcus’s kind of versatility ... I do believe Marcus will be the main leader, but he has more help." (Inside Carolina)
