The Greater N.C. Pro-Am summer league has built a fast reputation in the Triangle, and beyond, and could possibly end up being Jerry Stackhouse's biggest contribution to basketball in this state. It may also redound greatly to Duke's benefit, as one of the biggest impressions this summer was made by Nolan Smith, who says he wants to get to a whole different level.
What's not surprising, given the tradition of basketball in the Triangle, is that everyone seems to take it very seriously.
