Dustin Ackley could top draftees
Posted Jun 30, 2008
The first athlete drafted by the pros from the University of North Carolina in 2009 might not be Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington or Hakeem Nicks. A more likely choice is Tar Heels baseball star Dustin Ackley. When the Major League Baseball Draft is staged next spring, the rising junior first baseman from Walnut Cove looms as a first-round lock and possibly even No. 1 overall.
