Wayne Ellington Ready For Next Shot

Posted Oct 23, 2007

To prepare for his sophomore season, Wayne Ellington added mass that he hopes will make his body more durable. "I gained probably 5 or 6 pounds," he said. "It's a lot of muscle I needed in useful spots to help improve my game." He'll also attack the basket more and attempt to draw fouls. Ellington also said he hoisted up more shots this off-season than ever before. (Tar Heel Blue)
