Deon Thompson making the most in the post

Posted Dec 12, 2009
Deon Thompson was often in the shadows when North Carolina won the 2009 national championship, but all that has changed this season. Thompson is now a senior leader for the Tar Heels and averaging a team-high 16.9 points per game. So where are all those points coming from? As Thompson showed WRAL anchor Jeff Gravley, he has learned to go left, or right, or fade back and shoot. (WRAL Sports Fan)
