Recapping the Tar Heels in the 2009 NBA Draft

Posted Jun 26, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough (Indiana Pacers) is the ACC's all-time leading scorer, a good guy and the proverbial hard worker. He has more skill than he's given credit for, but he also got just about every call in college and scored a lot of baskets off weird trajectory shots that will be swatted in the NBA. And he's 6-8ish and doesn't appear capable of guarding power or small forwards. Other than that, he's great. Who knew MJ would make a better pick than Larry Bird? (Yahoo! Sports)
