Larry Drew draws a bead on Big Apple

Posted Mar 28, 2010
Heading into the National Invitation Tournament, North Carolina point guard Larry Drew II couldn't help but hear, read and sense the criticism: Not fast enough. Poor leader. Bad shooter. Can't get it done in the clutch. Not that he particularly minded: "I welcome critics, all critics - I just use that as motivation," he said. "I just try to prove people wrong. I get a lot of satisfaction out of that." He's gotten plenty of satisfaction, lately. (Raleigh News & Observer)
