Larry Drew II

Sophomore point guard Larry Drew II spent 2008-09 as the freshman backup to ACC player of the year Ty Lawson. He only averaged 9.6 minutes per game, but he did finish the season with a 1.6 assist-to-turnover ratio. Drew will be expected to fill Lawson's role as point guard next season. A standout in high school for Woodland Hills Taft (Calif.) High School, Drew won the McDonald's All-Star game three-point shooting contest. He also comes from a stellar pedigree, as his father, Larry Drew Sr., played 10 seasons in the NBA and was a first-round draft pick in 1980.

In his first season starting, Drew II has established himself as a leading assist-man, averaging 6.4 assists per game.

NEW YORK — Roy Williams said he’s spent much of this season chewing out sophomore point Larry Drew II.

Whatever he’s saying, it seems to be working.
