One of the many challenges UNC head coach Roy Williams has faced on the recruiting trail is the idea that he 'handcuffs' his players to keep them in school longer. It is this idea that he doesn't allow his players to show everything they can do on the court, delaying their entry into the NBA draft.

Coach Williams addressed that notion during the NBA Combine last week:

Williams is always quick to note that he has had two players leave after their freshman year (Marvin Williams and Brandan Wright) along with multiple other players leave early. The Hall of Fame coach stresses to his players to "enjoy the moment and the journey" and insists it's different for each individual. He adds that his players will never enjoy basketball as much as they will in college, noting that players like Tyler Hansbrough, Tyler Zeller, Marcus Paige, and Brice Johnson all stayed four years at UNC.

Coach Williams could have another one-and-done player this season. UNC is waiting on the decision of Tony Bradley, who is debating on whether to stay in the draft or return to North Carolina for his sophomore season. Bradley discussed the NBA teams he has met with and his versatile NBA game in a recent interview.

The 2017 NBA Draft will be held Thursday, June 22 at 7:00 PM ET.
