NBA Tar Heels displaying basketball IQ

Posted Jan 25, 2010
Something occurred to me when I was watching the game last night. After a Danny Green drawn charge, a Jawad Williams cut to the basket, and the tremendous spacing the two University of North Carolina products displayed all night, I realized that the two young men from Chapel Hill are some smart basketball players. They both know the game, understand their role in the offense, and play strong man defense every possession. (NumbersDont.com)
