Congratulations to Deon Thompson. On a dunk last night against Gardner-Webb - he became the 63rd Tar Heel to score 1,000 points in his career.He came to UNC overweight and slow - but since the departure of diaper dandy Brandon Wright, he's been a solid 2 (going on 3) year starter for a UNC team filled with stars that often stole the spotlight.
But his ability to average 10+ points and 5+ rebounds every game was essential to the Tar Heels national championship last year - and this year he will be counted on to take a central role in a rebuilding squad.
Congratulations Deon Thompson. Rarely do you see such consistent improvement in a player - don't rest on your laurels. We've got a championship to defend!
