Roy Williams says defensive player of year Henson isn't even UNC's best
Posted Oct 20, 2011
Media voted North Carolina forward John Henson the ACC’s defensive player of the year last season, but Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said he wasn’t even the team’s best defender. According to Ol’ Roy, center Tyler Zeller graded out best defensively in more games than any Tar Heel. “John changes the game more abruptly,” Williams said. “(But) Z is in the right place all the time."
