In Closing: Felton was an important player early in Roy Williams’ tenure. He served not only as an example to the other players as Williams worked to gain their trust, but he was a tough leader by his junior season and an assassin on the perimeter, perfectly complementing the Tar Heels’ balanced attack. Felton was in command running set plays as Williams wanted, but could also create when things broke down and was outstanding in the open court. A terrific passer, Felton was also an outstanding defender and a terrific teammate. Sean May was the MOP of the 2005 Final Four, but Felton was as responsible for the Tar Heels winning the national championship because he triggered that path long before the Tar Heels' March run.
