UNC Basketball 2009 Player Profile: John Henson

Posted Jun 2, 2009
John Henson has been rated the No. 3 high school senior on the ESPNU Top 100, and is a McDonald’s All-American. Of all the in-coming freshmen coming to Chapel Hill next season, Henson probably fits Roy Williams' style the most. Henson is 6’10” 200 lbs, but will likely play small forward the majority of minutes. He can crash the boards on the defensive glass then go coast to coast with the ball finishing the play.
