Tar Heels' Kennedy Meeks draws NBA draft inspiration from Hassan Whiteside

Posted Jun 5, 2017
When it comes to grueling pre-draft workouts such as the one he held Sunday, Kennedy Meeks said he draws his inspiration from others who were doubted during the same process. In this case, from someone he visited a few miles down the road, Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside. "We played on the same AAU team. He's always been a big brother to me."
