Raptors’ Tyler Hansbrough a useful thorn in opponents’ sides

Posted Apr 12, 2014
Tyler Hansbrough of the Raptors may not possess the greatest of athletic ability as he plays a game that demands it and rewards it, but he is one of the great agitators in the NBA today. Whether it’s drawing fouls — he’s in the top 10 in the league in fouls drawn per 48 minutes — or committing general mayhem near the basket, whenever Hansbrough plays, stuff goes on. (Toronto Star)
