Tar Heels face challenge filling Wright's void
Posted Apr 24, 2007
Brandan Wright began closing the door on his college basketball career Monday when he announced his intention to enter the NBA Draft. But in doing so, he opened another door for some of his North Carolina teammates. Freshmen Alex Stepheson and Deon Thompson and sophomore Mike Copeland -- each of whom played sparingly last season -- will have expanded roles for the Tar Heels in 2007-08.
