Just got word from two sources that the North Carolina trio of Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green are all returning to Chapel Hill and withdrawing from the NBA Draft.
``They are all going back to school,” the source said. “None of them were sure they would be taken in the first round.”
That means that the only semi-significant losses for Roy Williams are that of Alex Stepheson and Quentin Thomas - and both are easily replaceable.
North Carolina has two freshman forwards in Tyler Zeller and Ed Davis who will come in and make up for the loss of Stepheson and Bobby Frasor will return from a knee injury and take the place, along with freshman point guard Larry Drew, of Thomas.
