Brice Johnson better without Kennedy Meeks? Roy Williams not buying it

Posted Dec 31, 2015
Is senior Brice Johnson a better player without fellow forward Kennedy Meeks on the floor? Some people certainly think so. Enough to catch Roy Williams’ attention. The 6-foot-10 Johnson averaged 22.5 points and 11.0 rebounds while shooting 38-for-50 from the field in UNC's first four games without the 6-10 Meeks, who is recovering from a bruised knee.
