Tyler Hansbourgh

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

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.

Exactly, and he's a little small to be playing the post at the NBA level.

I think he'll surprise many people.

6-9 245.

Yeah, and Elton Brand is also too small... Kenyon Martin has always been too small, Antonio McDyess, etc...

Fair enough, but I still think he's slightly too small to be a big impact player at the next level. But only time will tell, and I hope he proves me wrong.

Three players that have overcome their size.

How many haven't? More then three I can tell you that...

I would also argue that Kenyon Martin is nowhere close to either of those guys in skill (or in power in the post). He's a run and gun player who doesn't always produce much in a different system.

I am SURE that I can name many many many more players that have overcome being an inch or so undersized. The prototypical PF is around 6-10 or so, maybe 6-11, and around 250 or 260 pounds... Sure, Psycho T is a little bit undersized, but to say that he will not be an impact player is absurd considering I guarantee that no one here can predict the future.

Including you . No one here is saying they can predict the future, they're just giving their honest opinions of what they think Hansbrough will do at the next level, which happens to be opposite yours. There's certainly a chance he could be an impact player, but there's also a chance that he'll just be a solid roleplayer, and there's also a chance he'll be a total bust, but the odds probably favor him being a solid starter/roleplayer.

I never said there was no way...I just didn't see it. He's a hard worker but his talent level and toughness are lacking. Many of the plays he creates are simply him working hard against a lesser opponent...not on talent. That may not work as well in the NBA.

No one has said there is no way T can't be a star. Most of us just don't see it. And you do. One of us will be right...one of us will be wrong...usually that's how sports debates go.

what pick do you think he could be? what teams can use him the most? is he a top 10 pick?

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

It depends on who else comes out, especially for big men. If it's an average to above-average class of big men, I think he's a mid-late first round pick, if the class is lacking a bit for big men I think he could be a lottery pick. His situation reminds me a lot of Kevin Love's last year.

pretty good draft site that has had him projected as a 20-25 pick for a few years (currently have him slotted at 24 to detroit)...i wouldn't be suprised at all thoguh if the charlotte tarholes took him with their lottery pick however (jordan loves picking unc players in the draft)

Jordan actually had a lot of convincing to him about going to UNC over mizzou, uk etc

That’s because “gritty determination” means little when you’re playing against guys who can make their testicles slap you in the face when they dunk on you. The same characteristics that make someone a star in college can make that same person a spectator in the NBA. But don’t take our word for it: Here’s a list the top twelve ”Hansbrough Effect” players of all time:
