After weighing NBA options, John Henson staying at UNC

Posted Apr 7, 2011
UNC sophomore John Henson met with Tar Heels coach Roy Williams -- who had spoken with 10 NBA teams about the Henson's draft prospects -- Wednesday afternoon. By the end of the meeting, the 6-foot-10 Henson decided that turning pro could wait for at least another year. Henson, this year's ACC Defensive Player of the Year, announced moments later that he would be staying in Chapel Hill for his junior season. (St. Petersburg Times)
