Tar Heels' hands may be full with Roy Hibbert

Posted Mar 25, 2007

Roy Williams loves telling it to anyone who will listen: "Ol' Roy ain't that good." But when he's talking about a younger Roy -- Georgetown 7-2 junior center Roy Hibbert -- Williams changes his tune. "I think it's not just his size," Williams said. "He's gifted, he's talented. He's gotten better and better, worked extremely hard. There's not many of those guys running around -- 7 feet, 7-2 -- and very few with the skill that he has." (Durham Herald-Sun)
