Desmond Hubert excited about new challenge

Posted Jun 20, 2012
Desmond Hubert, who averaged 4.9 minutes in 25 games as a freshman, will likely need to play a much bigger role on UNC’s front line next season. After playing additional offseason pickup games with his teammates, putting on a few more pounds, and gaining confidence in his still-developing hook shot, “I’m a lot more excited now than nervous.” Which, the Tar Heels hope, is a good sign.
