Tar Heel Draft Day Primer
Posted Jun 26, 2014
Expectations are that P.J. Hairston has a chance to become Carolina's 46th first-round NBA Draft pick tonight when the annual event begins at 7 p.m. on ESPN. Hairston would be the 15th first-round draft selection coached by Roy Williams at UNC, and he would be the 35th first-round pick for the Tar Heels since 1980, which leads the nation. James Michael McAdoo may also be picked, likely in the second round.
