Marcus Ginyard doesn't light up a box score, but it's the little things that make him valuable

Posted Mar 23, 2007

Marcus Ginyard's approach to detailing cars is similar to his attitude about basketball. He loves the minutiae of detailing, the fine points an average person never sees or considers. He is the Tar Heels' detail guy on the floor, taking care of the little things that don't have a column in box scores and get noticed only by coaches. He likes it that way. (Wilmington Star News)
