Will Heels' Hansbrough, Wright or Lawson turn pro?

Posted Mar 27, 2007

Brandan Wright, Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough have yet to announce whether they will return next season or enter the NBA draft. Lawson said Sunday he's 95 to 100 percent sure he's coming back, which means he didn't completely rule out leaving. Hansbrough has said he is inclined to stay, but didn't make any promises Sunday. Wright, the most highly regarded draft prospect on the team, is rated a top-five pick by many experts if he decides to leave school. (Charlotte Observer)
