Lucas: Miller Relishes Senior Status

Posted Sep 28, 2006

Wes Miller has watched plenty of pickup games during his Carolina career. Not played in them. Watched them. There's a certain code to the summer pickup games in the Smith Center, and a transfer walk-on quickly learns his place in his first months in Chapel Hill. Pros and seniors first. Everyone else waits their turn--which may or may not come, depending on the amount of alums in town. This summer, with senior status, Miller has enjoyed a new role in the pickup games.
