Lucas: UNC Basketball Mailbag Nov. 7

Posted Nov 7, 2006

The Tar Heel head coach has already said he expects Reyshawn Terry and Tyler Hansbrough to be difficult to bump from the starting lineup; for that reason, go ahead and pencil them in. Brandan Wright seems the logical candidate to fill the spot alongside Hansbrough in the post. His athleticism and shot-blocking ability make him the perfect fit for the extended pressure defense Williams wants to play this year. (Tar Heel Blue)
