Duke's Nolan Smith would get Roy Williams' player of the year vote -- if he had one
Posted Mar 4, 2011
North Carolina coach Roy Williams doesn’t have a vote, he said today, “but if I were to vote for Associated Press National Player of the Year, Nolan Smith would get my vote.” Williams said the Duke guard has, in his opinion, “had the best year of anybody in the league, to me, he’s had the best year of anybody in college basketball.”
