John Henson is one of the best shot blockers in UNC basketball history. Prior to going pro in 2012, Henson was a first-team all-ACC player as a junior and second-team all-ACC player as a sophomore.

Henson continues to play for the team that drafted him in 2012, the Milwaukee Bucks. Henson averages 5.5 points, eight rebounds and one block per game. In his first game this season, he scored 10 points, blocked two shots and grabbed one rebound. I

n his second game against the Charlotte Hornets, Henson scored four points and had four rebounds.

In his most recent game against the Brooklyn Nets, Henson scored seven points, grabbed 12 rebounds, had three assists, two blocks, two steals and scored the game-winning shot (in the video below).

Henson has gotten off to a great start this season and is looking to be a key player on a young Bucks team in the Eastern Conference.
