Hansbrough finally ready for NBA
Posted Apr 23, 2009
With all the speculation surrounding Ellington and Lawson, hardly anyone has given any thought to Tyler Hansbrough finally taking the next step in his incredible basketball career. Hansbrough is a kid who could have left UNC after his freshman season, but instead he stayed all four years and realized his dream of becoming an NCAA champ. Since Hansbrough's game has been picked apart and basically deemed not good enough for the pro game, their is no buzz around his draft status.
