Off the cuff: Ok, so as UNC coach Roy Williams says, the Tar Heels have more problems than James Michael McAdoo but what is going on with him? At the risk of being accused of speculating wildly, I've gotta think something is going on personally. A girlfriend issue, class problems, personality conflicts on the team, something. Because he looked better the second half of his freshman season than he's looking now. He's not only tentative and seemingly unsure on occasion but he is making freshman errors, especially in regard to taking bad shots. "He's rushing himself," Williams said. Ok, I wonder why he is doing that? "We've got to get him playing better," Williams said. This team should be McAdoo's team but it increasingly seems to be sophomore Marcus Paige's team. It's good for a guard to be a team leader but McAdoo is the most experienced and supposedly talented player on the team. The team may live or die depending on how he does. If he can pick his game up enough to help the Tar Heels salvage the season, I suppose it could be a blessing in disguise because McAdoo is nowhere close to being a highly sought after NBA pick. That means he could actually finish his four-year college year at Carolina. That's both the good and bad news. That all being said, had the Tar Heels just executed half their foul shots in the first half, including the front end of two one-and-one, they'd have won the game against UAB. |
