UNC's problems are welcome
Posted May 17, 2006
UNC’s returnees include Bobby Frasor, Wes Miller, Marcus Ginyard and Danny Green, guys whose scrappiness led the Tar Heels to a surprisingly successful and overachieving season. But all of them are looking at the prospect of getting less playing time next year, because Carolina is bringing in the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, with three prospects ranked as the best in the country at their position. It would be a shock if point guard Tywon Lawson, wing guard Wayne Ellington and 6-foot-9 power forward Brandan Wright aren’t in the starting lineup when the Tar Heels tip off their season.
