This was my first time seeing the North Carolina recruit, and boy was I impressed. Stepheson is all that you can ask for in a developing big man, as he is strong, athletic, and plays extremely hard. Hes incredibly athletic and finishes well around the rim, and that alone should earn him immediate playing time at UNC. He stepped out and knocked down a few mid range jumpers, and even brought out a few moves down low, but the Tarheel staff will have a lot of fun working with him because of his immense potential. Alex is also one of the two or three players that Ive ever seen block
Greg Odens shot. Unfortunately for him however, Oden got the ball back immediately and had a reverse dunk and Stephenson, drawing a foul on the way as well. As stated in the practice articles, Alex definitely has all of the tools to step right in and play at North Carolina, and could even take minutes away from
Brandan Wright if Wright does not begin to show some immediate improvement in his game. UNCs frontcourt is regardless looking incredibly stacked with 20 and 10 machine
Tyler Hansbrough returning.
