Lucas: Family Steps Forward For McCants

Posted Sep 10, 2009
Last weekend's alumni game was a window into what the Carolina family means on and off the court. What fans didn't see, though, was what the family means behind closed doors. During the course of the weekend, as a group of alums sat and talked, the conversation turned to the players on rosters in the NBA. One of the men in the room, Rashad McCants, was a lottery pick four years ago. Now, he's without a team, reduced to waiting for Denver or perhaps Charlotte to call and offer a spot in training camp.
