i still hate him though. he travels. and how do you explain the fact that he's taken the most free throws in the acc... at around 390, and the second highest is singletary at 190ish. that's bull crap. i don't care if he's good, mj, shaq or anyone else... that is bull.

Right now, he's the best player on the best team in the nation. Most talented player? No...not even on his team. He's just the hardest worker.
This guy is not that good - say what you want - he's the Mark Madsen of this era. He the guy in pick-up ball that is starting all kinds of fights because he's banging every play and he somehow gets the ball off and scores the close baskets. Tell me who's post game is that ugly in the NBA?

I will never say I like him, but he is a hard nosed player, and I would love to have him on my team.I see Tyler as a Shane Battier type -- as in, rides the bench for some teams, but is a solid contributor for the right one.
As for the NBA, if he's lucky he'll be able to ride some team's bench for several years.

SAN ANTONIO --- Add another big national award to Tyler Hansbrough's personal trophy case. The Tar Heel junior was named the Associated Press Player of the Year at a Friday morning banquet.
Sly Fox wrote:The UNC hype machine wins again.We'll see about that.
The real POY is a freshman in Memphis who is the best player on the best team in the nation. You'll all realize that by Tuesday morning.
Hansbrough has been solid all year but arguments for Beasley could be made. I don't see any argument that can legitimately be made for Rose who wasn't even nominated...LUnpretty11 wrote:PH, your BJ skills impress me.

He should go right after Beasley in the draft. Michael is the best player in the nation but he played on a crappy team at K-State. If we would've spent this past season in Chapel Hill or Durham then RESPN would be helping the folks in Springfield clear out his own wing of the Hall.Now thats a true statement.

Nelson was all the Hawks really had, while Okafor was the solid foundation of a great team. Beasley was really all K-State had, while Hansbrough is the solid foundation of a great team. Looks like the committee didn't want to repeat the mistake they made in '04.

I have to say that's being more than just a one-man team. That's like saying all Davidson has is Stephen Curry...LUconn wrote:Hey, Jameer Nelson won this thing in '04 over Okafor so we all know they can get it wrong.

IIRC, West gained more notice because of the success of Nelson. I never said they were one-man teams. Notice I said, "all the Hawks really had". He wasn't their only option, but he was their main option.
