Roy Williams wants John Henson to be more of a 'menace' in the middle

Posted Nov 30, 2010
According to Roy Williams, every player on the team has a role. And for sophomore John Henson, Williams wants his role to be like Dennis Rodman’s — without the piercings, tattoos and controversy. Rodman was named to the NBA’s all-defensive team seven times and twice was the league’s defensive player of the year. He led the league in rebounding for seven consecutive seasons, and he won five NBA championships. (Durham Herald-Sun)
