Reggie Bullock has a bum knee
All freshmen need leadership at some level on the court. Who at UNC fills that role?exactly.
(1) a fraud? seriously? he has played 7 or 8 games. He may not be an all american, but I bet every single coach out there would take him in a heartbeat (except for K - you only get one bite at the Duke apple). thats no fraud.
(2) try telling that to Jon Scheyer.
I think the fact of the matter is they are freshmen and their supporting cast is just not very good. I hate UNC just as much as the next Duke fan, but to downplay the talent they have is silly. If their coach adjusted his style to his players they would be pretty darn good, I think.
