John Henson embraces defensive role
Posted Nov 5, 2011
John Henson loves to hear the crowd’s reaction when he rejects a shot into the third row. But there’s another swat the UNC junior covets even more. “My best stuff is when I block the shot, Kendall throws it to Dexter, Dexter throws it to Harrison, and he goes and finishes and gets two points,’’ the 6-11 forward said recently. “That’s probably the best block.” And fans are probably going to see quite a few of ‘em this season.
