Justin Watts' late free throws help East to win

Posted Jul 22, 2008

Call Monday night's East-West All-Star game a tiny preview of the ACC's future, and a great look at the talent of North Carolina high school basketball. UNC recruit and Jordan alumnus Justin Watts sank two clutch free throws down the stretch and scored 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting in the East's 99-93 win over the West squad that also featured several ACC recruits.
