Jacobs: Ed Davis Injury Yields John Henson Revelation

Posted Apr 17, 2010
John Henson and Ed Davis formed a devastating defensive tandem in a loss to Duke on Feb. 10. Late in that contest Davis broke his wrist, sidelining him for the season. So Henson, despite his spindly frame, became a permanent inside fixture and more or less prospered. He virtually matched Davis in offensive rebounds per minute. Only three ACC players blocked more shots (60), even though Henson averaged a mere 15.8 minutes per game. (Tar Heel Blue)
