UNC wings ready for their shot
Posted Oct 19, 2012
If P.J. Hairston can make a shot from half-court (backwards, which he has), Leslie McDonald wants to try to swish one from at least two feet farther back. If Reggie Bullock can make a trick shot while sitting on a table behind the basket, then surely Dexter Strickland wants to try it, too. This season, with such an overflow of experienced wings on their roster, the Tar Heels are hoping some of that outside shooting prowess carries over to games.
