Tyler Hansbrough: P.J. Hairston 'exactly what we need'
Posted Sep 30, 2011
Former North Carolina star Tyler Hansbrough, a forward for the Indiana Pacers, has been living in Chapel Hill during the NBA lockout and has had an up-close look at this year’s Tar Heels. Hansbrough told CBSSports.com that former Dudley star and McDonald’s All-America P.J. Hairston, a 6-foot-4 guard/forward, is the player who has impressed him the most. But the praise came with a caveat.
