Charlotte Hornets’ Tyler Hansbrough might need to extend shooting range to extend career
Posted Oct 2, 2015
NBA teams will sometimes stage elaborate sales pitches to recruit free agents. No such pitch was necessary when the Charlotte Hornets looked into signing power forward-center Tyler Hansbrough. Charlotte was where he wanted to play professionally“I always wanted to play in North Carolina. I’ve always been trying to get back here,” said Hansbrough, who starred for the Tar Heels 2005-2009. “It’s a place that is special to me. It is home.”
