How Ty, Wayne and Tyler can help the Sixers

Posted Jan 18, 2008

If you did not know, I am a big UNC basketball fan. I would like to say that about once a week I will have a blog concerning the #1 ranked Heels. But there is something else about the Tar Heels relating to the Philadelphia 76ers. They have three players who could definitely help the Sixers in the foreseeable future. Those players are Carolina's version of the Big Three. PG Ty Lawson, SG Wayne Ellington, and PF/C Tyler Hansbrough. (Sporting News)
