Raymond Bernard Felton Jr. (born June 26, 1984 in Marion, South Carolina) is a former point guard for the North Carolina Tar Heels. At 6'1", 198 pounds, he was one of college basketball's athletic guards during his three years at Chapel Hill. At Latta High School (S.C.), Raymond was named National High School Player of the Year in 2002, led his high school to two state championships and a high school career record of 104-9. He was named to the All-American Team and he set 2 South Carolina state scoring records (most points and most 3-pointers). In his freshman year, he was voted Carolina Player of the Year and ACC Freshman of the Week three times. He had 236 assists, and averaged 12.0 points a game. During his sophomore year, he was a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award and the Naismith Award, and had 213 assists, led the Tar Heels in steals (63) and free throw percentage (81%) while averaging 11.5 points per game. In his third and final season at North Carolina, Felton lead the Tar Heels along with fellow juniors Rashad McCants and Sean May and freshman Marvin Williams to the 2005 National Championship over the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Fighting Illini on April 4, 2005 in St. Louis, the 5th Title in UNC's history (1924, 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005). Felton averaged 12.9 points and 6.9 assists per game during his junior season and showed a much-improved shooting touch. He was selected 5th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Bobcats. Just as he did for the Latta Vikings, Felton now wears jersey No. 20 as a professional. In his rookie season in the NBA he averaged 11.9 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 5.6 APG.
