Dascenzo: Hansbrough the man to watch this year

Posted Oct 13, 2006

Watch out, Tyler Hansbrough wants to be more explosive and quicker which means North Carolina should be too. Flashback to last season and you can see that raging rookie from Poplar Bluff, Mo., going up strong, and durable, for a putback. Or you could see Hansbrough at the top of the key and take off for the basket. Or, for sure, you'd see him get one of those 38 steals or 23 blocks. (Durham Herald-Sun)
