Early expectations can lead to disappointment for young stars
Posted Aug 17, 2010
Former Sickles High center John Henson entered his senior year as the No. 3 overall rated prospect in the nation. Last summer, he arrived on the campus of UNC as the Tar Heels' top prospect. If he decides to leave early, he's projected as a first-round pick in several mock NBA drafts in 2011. "That's one thing you have to stay away from," Henson said. "You don't want to focus on anything but winning."
