UNC Basketball Preview Part 2 - UNC finished the season ranked eighth and one step shy of the Final Four. Although Henson's perimeter defense is surprisingly strong. Big men generally adapt faster that guards, and McAdoo already has good rebounding skills and the speed Roy Williams likes in big men. Perimeter shooting has been the weak spot in Carolina's offense since the 2009 team left for the pros after their championship season, and Hairston is the great incoming hope for reversing that trend.
It remains to be seen how that performance translates once he faces tougher opposition, and how his own defensive skills match up, but he's likely to get the most playing time of any of the freshmen, due to having to compete for playing time against primarily Reggie Bullock and Dexter Strickland.
Recruited as a shooting guard, he was press-ganged into being the backup point guard to Larry Drew, where did a decent job, but wasn't really comfortable. Then, of course, Drew quit the team and Strickland found himself back in the backup point guard role.
The difference last season was that he kept the starting job as shooting guard, while still handling point guard duties whenever Marshall was out of the game. The other interesting thing about Strickland's game is that for a shooting guard, he doesn't take many shots from behind the arc. UNC will have one or two excellent three-point shooter coming off the bench in Hairston and Bullock while the starter at shooting guard rarely attempts a three.
The thinking basically goes that Marcus Ginyard's injury in 2009 was critical to UNC's championship run, because it allowed Danny Green to enter the starting lineup, a switch Williams would have never made on his own, because despite Green's better shooting, Ginyard was the better defender and Williams is pretty hierarchal about these sort of decisions.
Note that it arose after the 2009 team had mostly moved on, and UNC was losing with a hobbled Ginyard as the Heels' best perimeter shooting option at the time.

Occupy oakland general strike
Occupy oakland general strike | 8.20am GMT: Just as calm appeared to have returned, explosions were heard on the livestream (see 7.55am GMT).
Here's an update from Adam Gabbatt in Oakland:
8.03am GMT: My colleague Adam Gabbatt (@AdamGabbatt) was in the midst of things when the police used teargas. Here are some of his tweets as officers tried to disperse protesters:
Live blog: Twitter
Teargas deployed. And loud explosion #OccupyOakland
That was horrible. Don't have a mask #OccupyOakland
Protesters' barricade on fire. Police 100m away warning to move back #OccupyOakland
That fire has really taken off. Police continue to ask protesters to move or face arrest. Protesters chant "peaceful protest" #OccupyOakland
Police secured the blazing barricade. Used teargas and exploding devices (not sure of proper name, like bangers) #OccupyOakland
Second tear gas felt more concentrated than the first. Back on Broadway now. Some protesters have smashed a window #OccupyOakland
Adam took the photo above of part of a teargas cannister.
Here's an update from Adam Gabbatt in Oakland:
Protesters had occupied a building close to their base at Frank H Ogawa and barricaded off the main road to it when police arrived. Some 200 officers, who appeared to be from different agencies, ordered protesters to move back before firing teargas and what appeared to be flash bang grenades.
Protesters ran back and police claimed back the street entrance and the protesters' barricade of bins and pallets - which protesters had set on fire - before ordering protesters back a second time. A small group of protesters refused, and teargas was again fired and
more than ten explosives thrown by police. The teargas appeared to be a more concentrated dose, afflicting me for some 30 minutes.
One woman, Lauren Freitas, said she was hit in the legs by rubber bullets or other projectiles. A rapid-firing weapon could definitely be heard during one of the two police advances.
At the moment there is an impasse between police and protesters. Two groups of police prevent protesters moving north beyond 16th Street on Broadway and east along 15th.
Some protesters are sat down in front of police lines, clapping as a man plays guitar. The vast majority are back towards their base at the plaza.
There haven't been clashes for around 30 minutes now. Many protesters are regrouping, having treated teargas with a variety of vinegar and lemon solutions .
