William Graves suspended for “not maintaining the standards we expect of a Carolina basketball player”. He’ll be allowed to practice and participate in other team events, but he won’t play. Not until next season.
My folk Twan, who I have textversations with religiously during Tar heel contests, asked me why Will wasn’t playing and pointed out, we hadn’t seen Will in a minute on the court. So I did my investigative reporting for my audience, and here goes…
It appears Ol’ Will has a problem with the cannabis. Has failed a couple urinalyses with the team and is serving a 15 game suspension. From what I hear from my sources, it’s not his first failed jahnt, or second; yeah. UNC is a prestigious University, and it can’t come out that our players are getting high as gas. So to save face, the University just released the statement saying “not maintaining the standards we expect of a Carolina Basketball player”.
He’ll be back next year, but it may too little too late…
With these latest 2 losses, Ginyard and Graves, we now have an 8 man rotation (2 of which are freshmen). Tyler, Ty, Wayne, Danny, Soft-ass Deon, Nervous Bobby, Young Drew II and Young Davis. Yeah we got Copeland and Watts but uhr…
I’m nervous about next week man, 02-07-2009 vs. Dook in Cameron Indoor. We have NO size inside! Deon plays like a baby, and Tyler thinks he’s a 4 (power forward) these days taking more and more shots from the wing and top of the key. And where I like Davis, he’s young, in Cameron for the first time. True indeed, Dook doesn’t have an inside power either, their GAME is the 3 point game. We had a breakout night lastnight, but a LOT of that had to do with MD playing horrible perimeter defense. The Dookies will play a LOT more aggressive there. They’ve got a lot more fouls to give inside too!
And who guards Kyle Singler? Deon can't. ESPECIALLY on the perimeter. Zoubek AND Plumlee have 5 fouls a piece to give to Hans. It's going to be a tough one! We NEED to get the job done!

Great post. I think Deon came out of the gate playing like a man, and suddenly seems to needs to find a set. He was so aggressive and dominant early, then seemed to get nervous, tentative, weak. Did he find a girlfriend or something?
ReplyDeleteReally sucks about Marcus. Hes a great player and a great addition to the offense but the heels will be alright without him. It just gives the other guys a chance to step up. What I cant figure out is why Deon, who can apparently only shoot fade aways, is getting considerably more playing time than Ed, who is anything but soft. He gets the same ppg and rebounds as Deon in half the playing time and he adds around 3 or 4 blocks. Every championship team has a shot blocker, but hes warming up the bench.
ReplyDeleteYou know the difference in Deon? The frohawk! He was more aggressive and pumped up when he had the sweet mohawk. I think he needs to bring it back.
ReplyDeleteNo size inside??? tyler, deon, davis, green... vs. Zoobs and Singler, And singler is not going to be busting a chill in the post. My fiend, you have nothing to be nervous about. Worst case scenaro: carolina wins by 3. Best: by 14. count on it.
