Veterans providing leadership to rookies

Posted Nov 9, 2009
As North Carolina has been preparing for the start of the new basketball season, North Carolina's veteran players have taken it upon themselves to get the freshmen up to speed. Players like Marcus Ginyard and Deon Thompson, who have fought the Atlantic Coast Conference battles for years, have been working with the five rookies (John Henson, David Wear, Travis Wear, Leslie McDonald, and Dexter Strickland) to get them ready to make an impact this year.
