Tyler Hansbrough: Mark Madsen with a jump shot

Posted Mar 6, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough is a player who is low on NBA scouts’ radars; he puts up big numbers in college because of his sheer desire to outwork the opponents. In the NBA, however, that is not enough to be a great player. Hansbrough needs to continue to develop his low post skills. The one thing going for the Tar Heel star is his mid-range game, but that won’t be enough to make him a top draft pick. (Washington Square News)
