PJ Hairston’s Baggage: Real and Imagined

Posted Jun 30, 2014
In his two years at Carolina, P.J. Hairston was never considered a bad teammate or a negative locker room presence. In fact, there’s zero evidence that Hairston was anything other than a GREAT team player. Despite being perhaps the most talented member of the UNC roster in 2013, he spent the first half of his sophomore year coming off the bench. Instead of sulking or comparing his situation to prison, P.J. spent his limited minutes doing what he does best—scoring at an insane rate. (Raleigh & Company)
