Compiling one of the most decorated résumés in college basketball history did little to stop many from wondering whether or not the high-energy power forward from UNC could make it in the NBA. And assuredly a stellar performance in this week's Orlando Pro Summer League won't dismiss the popular opinion that Hansbrough is about to fall flat on his face at basketball's highest level.
