Tyler Hansbourgh

[Jeffy25]

I dunno how many of you follow college basketball. But Hansbourgh went to a high school about thirty miles from where I went to high school and currently live. Poplar Bluff, in accordance to Cape Girardeau. Anyway, we were in the same conference and division. He is two years younger then me, but we still played against each other ALOT. And he was big, but he wasn't really into his body really until about Sophmore year, even though he was a rare starter as a freshmen.

Anyway, the point of all of this. Next year, do you think he could go number one in the draft? who could use him the most in the NBA?

i think it will be a while b/f there is a college senior who is the first overall pick. i think nba teams are looking for someone more versatile.

[Jeffy25]

I agree with you, I feel he can be a solid role player, and has the ability and drive to learn how to play the game at the NBA level. But I don't know if his style will translate. He's tough, but in the NBA at his size, it might be tough. I am hoping for the best for him. sort of a local hero around here....he, Cheryl Crow and Rush Limbaugh.

[Jeffy25]

i think saying 14 ppg and 6 rpg for ten seasons isn't too wild of a predicition for him. Even if on a contender.

I'd say that is the worst prediction ever. He is amazing for college. I'm hammered but I speak the truth. Hansborough will be a "Kirk Heinrich" type of pick. Be a great "role" player and most likely never a be a great player.

I dont tune into college basketball until march. Its so much more compelling to watch than the regular season.

There is a post there by HoustonGM.... is it OUR Houston

Tyler Hansbrough is one of the greatest college basketball players in history, but sadly, I feel that he is what he is... and that is a great college basketball player. I think he'll be a solid player in the NBA, but not a star... I really hope I am wrong, since he is my favorite player (yes, I am a huge UNC fan).

Only similarity is that they are both white and both have (or had in Laettner's case) very successful college bball careers.

[filihok]

Yeah...Laettner was a totally different type of player.

Maybe this woulda been a better comparison

[koolzach1]

Why does he always gotta be compared to white guys who failed in the NBA? Seriously... I actually think Elton Brand-lite.

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

I'm sorry to say it because I really like him, but I don't think Psycho-T is gonna be much of a player in the NBA. I think he can be a solid role-player or maybe a starter on a decent team, but I don't think he'll be an All-Star.

[OregonDuck1989]

As much as I like Tyler I don't see him being an all-star either. He works hard, and a hard worker is always needed in the NBA so he could always be a good role player..

But I don't think he has the talent or toughness to be a superstar.

[etothep]

He is going to WILL himself to become the greatest basketball player of all-time, making us forget about players such as Jordan, Chamberlain, Magiic & Bird.

WILL, HARD WORKING, WILL, WILLPOWER
