If you're going to shoot it, you're better off taking it right at him because of those arms. Haywood has also made a couple of the biggest plays of the Carolina season. In the conference opener against Wake Forest, he grabbed a loose ball in the lane and hit a layup with 3.3 seconds to play for a 70-69 victory. The Wolfpack never scored again and Carolina went on to a 60-52 win. Then at Duke, Haywood converted two free throws with 3.5 seconds to go.
Every player does.
As long as Coach Doherty and my teammates are satisfied with that, I'll be happy. I know the feeling fans have about someone who is as big as me. But, I like my size. I just want to use it to the best advantage possible. In his senior season, Haywood is making great progress in that area.
