Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the greatest point guard of them all? That’s a popular question in Chapel Hill, where the Tar Heels go through elite point guards like Twitter goes through hashtags. It started with the Dean Smith era and has continued under Roy Williams. In order for the secondary break to be effective, the point guard has to be able to advance the ball from end to end at breakneck speed.
