Q&A with Roy Williams, Part III

Posted Nov 5, 2014
Are you getting a sense that Isaiah Hicks is becoming who you want him to be? Roy Williams: "He just needs to relax. It’s a hard thing for somebody to say ‘Relax and play harder, relax and quit thinking.’ We’re sending him a lot of different signals, but once certain kids get it, they’ve always got it. I believe that Isaiah will have a better year, and will get better and do those kinds of things." (Inside Carolina)
