They all will be making big mistakes if they enter the draft.

Dear Hanbrough,
Please, please leave for your mediocre NBA career. The CBB pundits will be insufferable next year, kissing your overrated ass in the event you come back.

Hansbrough's stock will never be higher than it is right now. This is not to say that he will be a good NBA player.

Well said Duany! I couln't have put it better myself. All Hansbrough's flailing won't get him to the free throw line in the NBA. I don't think he will be drafted much higher if he stays another year in college. He is a "tweener" with no outside shot.

I'm so happy I'm not the only person that thinks Hansbrough is an over rated flailing sissy. I doubt he will do much in the NBA... as much as a don't like him though I have the up most respect for the way he hustles and the intensity he brings to the court.

You're sending out mixed signals: "Hustling" and "intensity" aren't characteristics that most people associate with "sissies."

This business about Hansbrough being "overrated," at least as an NBA prospect, is misguided. Nobody, other than some dimbulb like Dick Vitale, has rated him highly as an NBA prospect.

i no lawson is NBA ready but his ankle injury has really dropped his stock
hansbrough wont be the best NBA player
but he can be a decent player
u no 7th man
and Ellington would be the dumbest man on earth if he enterd the NBA
not to say hes not good cause hes amazing but look at next years class
next years class ellington and lawson could go in the top 10
if they ALL return look at this lineup
PG - Ty Lawson, SG - Wayne Ellington, SF - Marcus Ginyard, PF - Deon Thompson , C - Tyler Hansbrough
add in 6th man danny green and combo guard bobby frasor will be bak
u can also add in a great recruitining class which consisted 3 ALL AMERICANS
Ed Davis, Tyler Zeller, Larry Drew

I hope they decide to comeback.. it will set a good example for college basketball should be. I am sick of freshmen one-and-dones and sophomores declaring early..it is ruining the game..

I'm a tarheel fan, and I used to think Hansbrough was overrated too, but every time I see him play, he lives up to everything people say about him. He plays harder than anyone I've ever seen. He accomplishes more that his athletic abilty will allow. I realize that people don't like him, but that's why you say he's overrated, because he seems to play above his abilty. It's going to be the same in the NBA too. Just wait and see. He'll be better than you think. Maybe 6th man of the year, instead of 7th. I don't think he'll be MVP or anything. Just saying, better than you think. Hide and watch. And remember, Talley told you so...
