In the recent past, we made some comments about UNC, saying first that a lot
of guys would get fresh starts, mentioning specifically Melendez, Owens,
and Haywood. According to Jason Capel,
Max Owens is playing great defense - not something you necessarily expected
to hear. We said yesterday that the offensive loss of Ed Cota might be
counterbalanced by a defensive improvement. No specific comments on that, but
there is comment on the interchangeable players UNC now has. And Haywood? He
cleared a 6 minute mile in pre-season running - much to his surprise.
One note: Doherty says he doesn't see the point in having Haywood chase
Boozer out to the three point line. Oh please, please please....Boozer can hit
that shot!
