Which sophomore is ready to break out?

Posted May 24, 2009
North Carolina's Ed Davis didn't deliver huge numbers as a freshman, but the Tar Heels didn't need that kind of production from him. Davis filled a complementary role as a backup frontcourt player who provided rebounding and shot blocking in limited minutes for the eventual national champions. This coming season, North Carolina will need much more from Davis and Deon Thompson now that Tyler Hansbrough completed his senior season. (Rivals.com)
