Lucas: True As They Come

Posted Jan 14, 2011
This is not about Kendall Marshall vs. Larry Drew. Carolina will not get where they want to go without both of them. There will come a game when Marshall, a freshman, actually plays like a freshman rather than like a crafty 35-year-old man who tosses in bank shots down at the Y while the younger guys suck wind. Right now, though, sitting at 2-0 in the league, the benefits of having the freshman are obvious. (Tar Heel Blue)
