Ed Davis joins long list

Posted Apr 14, 2010
North Carolina sophomore basketball player Ed Davis, who declared for the NBA Draft on Monday, wasn't born when the pros began tapping the ACC for promising underclass players. The process actually started in 1972, when the Tar Heels lost first-year star and ACC Tournament MVP Robert McAdoo to the Buffalo Braves. Technically, McAdoo was a junior, having starred the previous two seasons for Vincennes (Ind.) Junior College. (Raleigh News & Observer)
