Hairston suspension could hurt Tar Heels

Posted Jul 30, 2013
It would be difficult to imagine what this year’s Carolina team looks like without P.J. Hairston. James Michael McAdoo was assumed to be the leader of last year’s team, a possible NBA lottery talent, but he struggled in the role of being The Guy. Hairston, however, thrived down the stretch in the gunner role, averaging 18.2 points the last 13 games of the season. (FOX Sports)
