Knox says UNC will give him best preparation for shot at NBA
Posted May 30, 2010
Justin Knox walked into UNC's Smith Center late yesterday morning and started taking a second look at his new basketball home. The reason Knox, a 6-9 forward from Alabama, was in the building to help his uncle, Darien Knox, coach a team in the Bob Gibbons AAU Tournament of Champions being played in the Research Triangle this weekend. But Justin Knox is also using the time to meet with Coach Roy Williams and his staff, further acquaint himself with his new teammates.
