Will Hansbrough be a good pro?

[mofome]

thoughts?

[BigBollocks]

He's got a little brother that plays in the SEC that also has solid potential that few have heard of. Ben Hansbrough from Mississippi State...

yeah, that kids not a bad player.


tyler is at 23.4 and 10.5 a game. I think hes legit.

[hoopster42]

tyler is a little awkward looking, and he's white, which is why people hate on him. i think tyler will be a fine pro

[louisvillekid]

i don't know what it is about him that makes me think he'll just be a 4-5 year off the bench player. i think its because when he is matched up against other solid big men and he takes those goofy looking double pump off balance shots.

[twtb19]

No because he isn't that tall, he will have to be a power forward. He can shoot if he has a lot of time, but isn't very fluid in getting it off if someone is in his face which is why it is good he is usually guarded by a center right now.

He also draws a ton of fouls by jumping into the other team, the NBA refs generally call a lot less fouls where players on offense initiate the contact down low. I think he will be okay because of his work ethic, but he isn't someone you will see on sportscenter or in the all star game.

[Louisvillekid1]

Don't think he will ever be an all star. Should give some quality minutes for a team in the eastern conference.

Oops didn't see this thread, made a similar one like an hour ago.

I think he will be because even if he isn't a textbook NBA style of player, the coaches are paid for a reason and they are really good at developing talent further.

[rjt721]

Solid rotation player. Certainly not an All-Star. Think Nick Collison.

yeah its a good question, we'll see if we can get our threads combined.

[purecarnagge]

I think he's a guy that could crack the starting line up occasionally, but he has to work on his game at the pro level. I don't think he'll struggle, but he won't be as productiv.e He's a more natural power forward in the NBA game. A nice 4 or 5 to come off the bench while the starters suck wind.

Nah Nick Collison is a decent pro. Tyler wont do anything. Its the big leagues in the nba. Not playing with kids anymore. He wont have the refs sucking his cock and calling fouls on every play

[cantgetright]

think he'll be like joakim noah, serviceable guy who will bring energy and hit the boards. don't think he has enough game on the offensive end to be a star.

[Wassymac]

He'll contribute as a role player. Hard to imagine much more.

[JGray1]

plays hard but not enough athleticism i wouldnt want him he just like harangody from nd. Puts up numbers but the way he gets it done in college wont work in the league in my opinion. He will be on a roster but as far as productivity just dont see him being effective. But he got the traveling part down.

[SBR Lou]

I don't think he's a guy you can count out or necessarily put into a second tier of players. He is incredibly gifted at the college level. He is athletic enough, big enough, and has an incredible focus on the court. The guy also wants to win, I'd be floored if he's some money hungry jerk like many of the college kids wanting to get into the pros.

With the right coaching and his passion for hoops I think he's talented enough to make a big impact in the pros. Does anyone remember what Tom Brady looked like coming into the NFL? Skinny as a twig, written off as a backup too... Never discount how hard somebody will work if they're passionate enough.

[YoungMoney23]

I think he'll be a scrappy hustle player that may have some potential. His smaller size may be a problem but yeah I like the comparison to Nick Collison.

[jjgold]

He is better than i thought, any nba team will love him.
