Raptors’ Hansbrough made subtle changes to be greater impact

Posted Oct 31, 2014
The stat line for Tyler Hansbrough read just five points and two rebounds in the Toronto Raptors’ season opener, yet coach Dwane Casey came off the floor raving about how big an impact the big man had. There’s a subtle change in the 6-foot-9, 250-pound power forward as he enters his second season with the Raptors, and it’s paying off for the team, even if it doesn’t show up on the stats sheet.
