Portsmouth Invitational Tournament Recap

Posted Apr 18, 2010
Deon Thompson, 6-8, Power Forward, UNC: Mostly a back to the basket post-up guy at this tournament, as he was at North Carolina, Thompson showed many of the same things he did throughout his college career here- looking fairly skilled on one hand with some of the moves he’s able to execute (turnaround jumpers, one dribble pull-ups), but also having a difficult time passing out of double teams and forcing the issue on occasion.
