Scout: Tar Heels stars won't be NBA lottery picks
Posted Apr 13, 2009
One NBA scout told the Boston Globe he doesn't think any of NCAA champion North Carolina's three stars – guard Ty Lawson, forward Tyler Hansbrough and guard Wayne Ellington – would be lottery picks this year. He believes Lawson would go in the late teens, Hansbrough would be a late first-rounder at best, and Ellington would be a second-rounder. “Ty has grown on me,” the scout said.
