Q&A With Joel James

Posted Sep 26, 2013
Joel James on his number change from #0 to #42: "I have to please my point guard. Nate Britt wanted #0. I figured that he's the guy that's going to pass me the ball so I gotta make him happy." On talking to Sean May about taking his number: "That's some big shoes to fill. I actually had a conversation with the big man, asking him for his blessing for the number. He said yes, as long as I'm not dropping balls." (GoHeels.com)
