Tar Heels look to Joel Berry, Justin Jackson to continue evolution
Posted Nov 9, 2016
When last season ended, point guard Joel Berry and swingman Justin Jackson had become the players North Carolina needed them to be. This season, their evolution will have to continue as the Tar Heels will ask them to do even more. “Can those guys now step up and elevate their play to that level when the defense is aimed at them?” Roy Williams said.
