Jerry Stackhouse said he asked one player whether his alma mater, UNC, was on the player's recruiting radar. The player quickly dismissed the Tar Heels, saying their last one-and-done was Marvin Williams, the No. 2 overall pick in 2005 who never averaged more than 15 points in the league. "He wants to go somewhere where it's one-and-done -- and he has maybe a total of 10 points in three games that we've played," Stackhouse said. "Go figure, man." (Charlotte Observer)
