Q&A with Roy Williams, Part II
Posted Oct 26, 2010
"I plan on playing Dexter [Strickland] at the 2 (shooting guard) and the 1 (point guard). In Nassau he started at the 2 both games, Kendall [Marshall] started at the 1. I could very easily started Dexter at the 1 and Justin Watts at the 2. I wanted to see how Dexter would be able to handle that. He’s a tremendous athlete and I think he has a tremendous ability to push the ball."
