NBA scout: Hansbrough a top-17 pick

Posted Mar 20, 2006

A veteran NBA scout has told The Observer on condition of anonymity that Hansbrough could be a top-17 pick. Hansbrough said he hasn't given the draft any thought yet. "In my mind, I will be back next year," Hansbrough said Sunday. "That's something I'm not even thinking about right now." Hansbrough finished the season with 587 points, 13 short of Joseph Forte's school freshman scoring record, set in 1999-2000. (Charlotte Observer)
