DUKE’S HENDERSON WELCOMED TO NBA WITH CAROLINA BLUE

Found October 08, 2009 on Today's ACC Headlines: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Raymond Felton
TEAMS: Charlotte Bobcats

Charlotte Bobcats have a few North Carolina connections of the Tar Heel variety. Michael Jordan is part owner, point guard Raymond Felton was a member of the team that won the 2005 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball National Championship, head coach Larry Brown is a UNC guy as are two of his assistants (including the legendary Phil Ford).Safe to say, rookie Gerald Henderson recently of Duke was likely to catch some flak when he was drafted by the Bobcats.For starters, the veterans are making Henderson carry a light blue North Carolina backpack everywhere he goes.All the rookies have backpacks that go with them on trips, to dinner and other places. Pink Disney-themed backpacks are popular this year but given the heavy Tar Heel influence among the Bobcats Henderson got a Carolina blue backpack.To make it more special, it's autographed by Felton."I try to match it with stuff, but I don't have a lot of Carolina blue," Henderson said after practice yesterday.On the court in Cleveland on Tu...

I must admit I'm a Felton convert

Via Tar Heel Times  |  October 07, 2009
Raymond Felton is relentless. He doesn't take off games, plays or practices. He just comes at you and he refuses to stop. Eventually he wears you down. Felton, 25, wore defenses down last season. New head coach Larry Brown put him in that position when he made Felton his full-time starting point guard. For the first time in four seasons as a professional, Felton no longer had to share.

That speaks to the divergence of the situations: Not only did Augustin have a fine rookie season, he’s the team’s only protection at point guard should Raymond Felton leave after...

GREENSBORO – One thing is indisputable: D.J. Augustin is back to full health. An abdominal strain robbed Augustin of his explosion and change-of-direction the second half of last season.
