hammer and hendo named captains

Henderson appreciated that Dunlap consulted with him about this, rather than just announce captains.

“He asked me if I wanted to be captain. He wanted me to take it on,’’ said Henderson, last season’s leading scorer at 15.1 points per game. “I don’t like just being called a captain. I wanted to earn it.’’

Carroll doesn’t play much – he could be the fourth shooting guard on the roster this season – but Henderson said he knows just why Carroll earned the distinction: “He’s the best teammate I’ve ever had. We play the same position (competing for playing time) and he’s always quick to help me or anyone else.’’

Are we the only team in the league whose captain will never see consistent minutes?

Better them than Diop.

Hammer can be the leader from the bench....like another coach

He'd probably be a good coach anyway

I was hoping that he would get encouraged to join the coaching staff this summer. :roll:

Maybe he never had to be. He was never captain before. Seems as though I recall him being quick to huddle the guys up when he was here in Durham though.

He's vocal enough to get in a fight with half the SGs he matches up with throughout the season
