It's time for UNC to let its young players grow up
Posted Feb 1, 2018
There’s a reason that Sterling Manley and Garrison Brooks earned scholarships, and the Tar Heels —Roy Williams included—have to learn to let the young players grow up. The more experienced players have to stop over-helping and leaving shooters open. If that means Brooks and Manley give up a bucket, so be it. Let them take their lumps and learn from their mistakes.
