McAdoo looking to be difference maker with new position, hard work

Posted Jul 8, 2013
UNC forward James Michael McAdoo could have been shaking hands with David Stern at last month's NBA Draft, but after an up-and-down sophomore season, the 6-foot-9 Norfolk, Va., native felt he still had work to do before leaving Chapel Hill. In two seasons, McAdoo has averaged better than 10 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Still, he feels like there is work to be done. (WRAL Sports Fan)
