Desmond Hubert, Joel James, Brice Johnson continue to vie for fifth starting spot at UNC
Posted Dec 10, 2012
Through UNC’s first nine games, three players have started alongside James Michael McAdoo in the Tar Heels’ frontcourt. Joel James, the freshman forward, was the latest to have that opportunity. Before him, Brice Johnson and Desmond Hubert started, too. UNC coach Roy Williams made clear on Saturday, that he isn’t close to figuring out who will become the team’s permanent starter.
