Tyler Hansborough is a mid-1st round selection and rightfully so. The Nets would be VERY wise to pick him up.


Tyler Hansborough is Mark Madsen with a couple of post moves. He will be exposed badly in the NBA where he will be playing against guys his size every night. He's slow and his defense is bad.

False.

Madsen never got those kinds of numbers for his team, let alone leading his team among all the other McD All Americans against ACC competition.

Madsen he is not. I don't recall Madsen averaging 20-10 as a frosh getting double and triple teamed, let alone outplaying Greg Oden his senior year in HS for half a basketball game.

i think he has a much higher b-ball iq than madsen.
much more of a "basketball player" than madsen who's mainly husstle.
tyler husstles too, but he has much more to his game.

i think they're very very different.

If Thorn is smart, Hansborough is NJ bound. Has very good skills along with that indomitable will to succeed.

Mark Madsen, he certainly is not.

It's a loaded comparison. I don't even want to go there. But Hansbrough is definitely not a Madsen.

I'll say this about Hansborough, I'm a lot higher on him succeeding at the next level that I was Sean May.

And Ben Wallace plays center at 6'8. So why can't Tyler play pf?

Ben Wallace, in his prime, was a freak of an athlete and has the wingspan of a condor. Tyler is, like, the opposite of that.

I think he's bordering on being underrated actually.
