So ole Roy finally decided to start his best player PJ Hairston and Carolina promptly goes 2-1 with 2 blowouts wins, a road win, and the only loss coming on the road @ #2 Duke. It only took him 4 months and 8 losses to figure this out. In just 3 starts PJ has scored 62 points and is averaging 20 ppg. If he's doing this in games I can only imagine what was going on in practice everyday. My question is this, what the hell took Roy so long to figure this out and make the change? Check out my blog back in November when I first said PJ should be starting. In my opinion Roy cost this team 4 losses by being so stubborn and not making the change when it became obvious PJ should be starting and playing more minutes. The Butler game, Virginia, the Miami game at home when they were only down 1 w/ 4 mins left, and no way in hell they lose that game to sorry as Texas. In college basketball you got to play your best 5 players and not worry about position and there is no way in hell Roy didn't see that PJ was one of his 5 best players. I still think he needs to play Brice Johnson more because it's obvious that he is there best offense post play. One of the best things that happen to them was Joel James getting hurt and removed from the rotation because that boy is not ready. I swear the travel every-time he catch the ball outside the paint and when he catch it inside the paint the double comes and he turn the ball over. He probably would've been better off redshirting because he is not ready. A lot of fans been complaining about this team not being as talented as previous Carolina teams, but what has been frustrating to me is Roy not playing the best players that he does have. I'm just glad he figured it out or stop being stubborn long enough to make the change and not waist a whole season.
