Leslie McDonald fine as starter or sixth man
Posted Oct 28, 2013
Senior guard Leslie McDonald has always had a sixth-man mentality. In 100 career games at North Carolina, he has started only once. That could change this year -- due in part to the potential suspension length of P.J. Hairston and partly because Roy Williams is still experimenting with different lineups. McDonald scored a career-high 24 points against UAB last season when he made his lone start.
