Did he really imply Sharpe was undisciplined and unfocused, or was that satire too?

He really did.
Wow. I thought what CB&B posted was a joke. Roy needs a professional (preferably one who didn't attend UNC) to do some of his PR - that release is a really bad look. As my momma taught me, if you don't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all.
Wow, Williams continues to show poor form. It harkens back to his handling of Reggie Bullock's exit.
As the coach and leader, you gotta take the high road. Even if you disagree with the player's decision. Even if you are right about the player's decision (in this case, he's not right).
“I did not originally agree with his decision,” UNC head coach Roy Williams says. “I’ve had 12 guys leave early in the last eight years, so I’m not against that at all. But, of those 12 guys, he’s the only guy that wasn’t guaranteed in my mind to be a first-round pick. I told Reggie I didn’t think it was the right thing to do.”
The one Louisville de-commit - Eric Van Der Heijden - is a small forward and verballed to Ole Miss, from the Ole Miss SBNation site.
The other - 6'1" guard Bobby Pettiford - is from South Granville HS in Creedmoor, NC - close to Raleigh but definitely in my county of Granville, between Raleigh and the VA line. Had to stick up for my county! I could not find anything saying where he is going yet.
Not sure I totally understand Sharpe's draft prospects. He's a big body at 6'11" 265 who can rebound, but doesn't really do much else (didn't shoot at all from range and has poor FT %). Shooting splits are .523/.000/.505. Per 40 stats are: 20.8 points; 16.3 rebounds; 2.3 assists; 1.7 steals; 1.3 blocks; 4.2 TOs; 4.0 PFs. Vernon Carey is an inch shorter and 5 lbs heavier at 6'10" 270, with shooting splits of .590/.381/.670 at Duke and per 40 stats of 27.2 points; 13.5 rebounds; 1.8 assists; 1.2 steals; 1.9 blocks; 3.4 TOs; 4.6 PFs last year. So Carey is a MUCH better scorer and has shown 3pt ability, which is valued in an NBA big, but was only a second round pick. Is 3 extra rebounds per 40 (they are basically a wash everywhere else) enough to offset the lack of offense? They are similar age for their years (Carey relatively slightly younger), they seem to have similar measurables in terms of wingspan, etc. I may be missing something else, but this doesn't seem like a sure fire first rounder to me. Maybe just part of the overall exodus?
Maybe the NBA wants big guys they can put in front of Zion! A special assignment.

Soph guard Tre Mann of Florida declared, to the surprise of nobody. First rounder.
You may want to ask Marek Dolezaj how that turns out.
