Congratulations Hansbrough

GO HEELS!!!

We need him to stay and get the Championship he deserves

Go Heels

He got exposed badly in FF against eventual Champion Kansas. He just happens to play in a team with great supporting casts ;  when he plays against big physical players he is choked. Exp ; see the game against KU.

1.  Pg in Ty Lawson ( in the nation out of high school)

1. Shooting Guard in Ellington( in the nation out of high school)

One of best 6th man in Danny Green ( can start pretty much anywhere)

He plays in a team with that much talent so it is no wonder he is good. Let put him in a team like KState to see how good he is ....when averyone just swarms him .

Beasely is the best. It is a shame not to select Beasely.

Hansbrough would be a fool to return to UNC next year. I hope he does return, but the only thing left for him is a championship, and he doesn't have any better chance of winning one of those next year than he did this year. Winning the championship requires an awful lot of stars to line up just right (see Lawson's ankle) and you just can't predict it. Meanwhile, I don't think he's going to improve his NBA prospects hugely with another year at Carolina -- maybe a little, but maybe not. Now is the time for him to go.

He has the numbers, and plays in the most hyped conference in the nation. Congrats to him for being a fine college player.

Now to the ugly truth:

He isn't really as good as people like Dick Vitale would have you believe.  Sure he can be physical in the ACC, but when put to task against the best in the nation, he comes up a little short.  in the KU game he was pushed around all game, yeah he got what 17 and 9, but as the National Player of the Year, the Final Four is where you put your stamp on the game.  He didnt.  As a matter of fact, after playing four home games in the tourny UNC looked primed for a championship....and they too, like Hansbrough came up short

His herky jerky come running in from the foul line to get a rebound and putback is fine in the college game, and he should stay, because he probably wont be putting up these kind of numbers at the next level.

It is good to see though when a player can assess strengths / weaknesses and not fall under the agent hype machine.  If he spends time developing his 15-17 jumpshot which started to show itself at the end of the season, he could be a decent pro.

I dont put all of the UNC loss to KU on his shoulders, although he was pushed around....post players cant do alot when the backcourt is bottled up......
