Will Graves displays rapid-fire ability off Tar Heels' bench

Posted Jan 2, 2008

The Specialist showed up in full force at the Smith Center three nights ago. Will Graves, whose nickname in this case originated from a vivacious public address announcer bellowing throughout Greensboro Dudley High School games, pumped in 14 points during North Carolina’s last outing. That he needed only eight minutes of playing time off the bench to do so revealed the explosive ability packed in the redshirt freshman’s powerful 6-foot-6, 245-pound frame. (Burlington Times News)
