Within minutes of beginning a conversation with Justin Pierce, his future becomes very clear: he's going to the NBA.
Perhaps as a player. He possesses a diverse skill set and will have the opportunity to showcase it in multiple ways in his one season for North Carolina this year as a graduate transfer from William and Mary.
But when his playing career is over, that's when Pierce is most definitely going to the NBA: as a member of some lucky team's front office.
"I've always been interested in money and how organizations are run," Pierce says.
