Former UNC great Tyler Hansbrough sees shades of himself in Luke Maye

Posted Dec 7, 2017
Tyler Hansbrough says he sees similarities between himself in one current Tar Heel. “So far, I think Luke Maye has been our best player,” Hansbrough said Thursday. “I love watching Luke. He’s got a high motor. Everyone says I’ve got a high motor, and he’s got a high motor, but he does play every possession.” The comparison makes sense from a physical standpoint and a statistical one.
