Lucas: The Shadow

Posted Mar 5, 2009
Wayne Ellington--with spot help from Larry Drew II and Bobby Frasor--played 35 minutes of terrific defense on Malcolm Delaney Wednesday night. The box score will show that Delaney actually played 38 minutes--he scored 11 of his 19 points in the final 2:41 when he was being guarded by Ty Lawson. Perhaps that last 2:41 is the most instructive way to evaluate Ellington's performance. (Tar Heel Blue)
