Some critics fume over Hansbrough

Posted Apr 4, 2008

Skeptics question a lack of polish to Tyler Hansbrough's statistically-impervious game. They question his athletic ability and NBA potential. Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Morrissey wrote last month that Hansbrough is overexposed -- "North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough would be at the top of my 'not-to-like' list. And right now, it's a list of one." Hansbrough dismisses the talk. But he's aware of the anti-Hansbrough sentiment. (Raleigh News & Observer)
