The Daily Tar Heel

Returning Players: Scott, Holmes, Williams

Melvin Scott
Sophomore
Shooting Guard

Strengths: Has nice shooting touch and plays good on-the-ball defense. Solid offensive contributor.

Weaknesses: Decision-making, especially when distributing the basketball, is an issue. Needs to keep improving his handle.

Outlook: Should see plenty of minutes at the 2-guard -- his natural position -- next season, especially since Brian Morrison transferred.

Jonathan Holmes
Senior
Point Guard

Strengths: Fundamentally sound. Does what is asked of him and runs offense well.

Weaknesses: At 6-foot, 181-pounds, just doesn't match up physically with guards of the ACC.

Outlook: Will earn his keep on the practice court and with senior leadership. His minutes will be limited once again.

Jawad Williams
Sophomore
Forward

Strengths: Developed pump fake in lane to get by bigger, slower defenders. Is fairly quick and is improving as a shooter.

Weaknesses: Needs to hone his offensive arsenal, including the turnaround jumper. Most importantly, needs to bulk up in the off-season to be able to hold off defenders and rebound better.

Outlook: Could be one of the go-to guys in 2002-03. The most talented of the sophomore class.
