Chansky’s Notebook: In Theo We Trust


Careful, Tar Heels, don’t get trapped at Syracuse! The best way to bust a zone is to penetrate by the latest and greatest post man in Carolina history: Theo the zone-buster. Give it to No. 1 in the paint and let him find Joel or Cam or Kenny or Luuuuuke cutting or spotting up, or else wheel and deal to the basket. I like that new outside-inside game. Let’s call it “In Theo We Trust.” (Chapelboro.com)
