Scouts: Hansbrough is still 1st-rounder

Posted Apr 15, 2009
North Carolina senior Tyler Hansbrough shouldn't worry too much about what pro scouts think of him. There's been speculation lately that he could slip out of the first round. That's not what I'm hearing. I spoke with a couple of player-personnel guys this week, and the consensus I got is Hansbrough is a safe bet for the bottom half of the first round. A lottery pick? Probably not. But a solid rotation guy who will figure out how to contribute. (Raleigh News & Observer)
