Lawson or Thomas? Heels psycho for Q
Posted Feb 28, 2008
UNC is a better team with Quentin Thomas at point guard than Ty Lawson. This defies conventional wisdom because Lawson is a superior player to Thomas, a seldom-used senior until Lawson's injury, but it's reality for the Tar Heels. With Thomas in the lineup, junior Tyler Hansbrough averages more points and more field goal attempts and more free throws attempts. The more Hansbrough, the better for UNC.
