Tyler Hansbrough struggling in NBA

Posted Feb 22, 2010
The annual All-Star game between NBA rookies and sophomores was missing perhaps the best-known rookie of all — former UNC star Tyler Hansbrough. After the Indiana Pacers took the former college player of the year with their first pick, critics questioned whether Hansbrough was big enough or athletic enough to succeed. No one questioned his durability, but that has been his biggest stumbling block as a pro. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
