An NBA Scout's View of the Tar Heels

Posted Jan 19, 2014
During North Carolina’s 82-71 win against Boston College Saturday, I sat next to an NBA scout. As his job requires, he had a plethora of opinions. Here are a few of them from the second half: “The thing with (James Michael McAdoo) is he isn’t any one thing. I’m not saying he’s great at everything, it just depends on the matchup. And in the NBA, that’s even more true.” (Daily Tar Heel)
