Posted Feb 1, 2008
Wayne Ellington is now a scorer instead of a shooter. Last season, Ellington was reluctant to drive and score off the dribble. He allowed defenses to pinch forward Tyler Hansbrough and North Carolina's other interior players, while he waited for a pass on the perimeter. "I really worked in the offseason," Ellington said. "I worked hard and got the mentality of becoming more of a scorer."
