Deon Thompson focuses on mental side of game
Posted Feb 17, 2009
Deon Thompson’s emphasis on hard work – not only on his physical game, but also on his mentality – has had, for the most part, positive results this season. His career high was 17 points coming into this year, which he’s equaled or exceeded five times already. His scoring and rebounding averages have increased each year of his UNC career, he’s making over 50 percent of his field goals, and he’s shooting free throws better than he ever has.
