Four former UNC basketball players will be in action when the NBA Summer League opens it’s Las Vegas tour tomorrow. Only one of the them is a rookie,  Reggie Bullock (Los Angeles Cippers), while the others, John Henson (Bucks) 6.0 ppg/4.7 rpg/0.7 bpg ~ Kendall Marshall (Suns) 3.0 ppg/3.0 apg ~  Deon Thompson (Bulls), have some pro experience, either in the National Basketball Association or overseas. For basketball fans of North Carolina who enjoy watching the former players at the next level this is your chance to catch a foursome of familiar names and faces before the Association gives way the latter part of baseball and the beginning of football, both in the college ranks and in the pro’s.

As noted above Bullock comes from this season’s draft, while both Henson and Marshall went pro last season. Thompson turned pro in 2010, but for now his only playing experience past Carolina is in Europe. Below you will find the complete schedule, highlighted when games that have former Heels in them.
