Roy Williams suggested Monday that Brandan Wright's departure to the NBA serves as a solid recruiting pitch, pointing out that Wright will become the sixth Tar Heel drafted in the last three years, following in the footsteps of 2005 lottery picks Marvin Williams, Raymond Felton, Sean May and Rashad McCants and 2006 draftee David Noel. “Nobody in the country can say that,” Williams said.
