James McAdoo following in cousin Bob's footsteps
Posted Jun 25, 2011
It was a year ago that James McAdoo, whose father is second cousin to former UNC All-American and NBA Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo, seriously considered graduating after his junior season, and moving on to Chapel Hill to help bolster the Tar Heels' thin frontcourt. "I would have missed a lot of things, and I would have missed some growing up," said the 6-foot-8, 220-pound James McAdoo, who finally moved to Chapel Hill two weeks ago to take summer school classes and play pick-up ball with his fellow incoming freshmen.
