Charlotte Bobcats - Tyler Hansborough (F - UNC)
No player has been more picked apart than Hansborough, partially thanks to his large body of work. It seems unlikely the Bobcats will actually select the Tarheel. But with an aging front court it may be wise to go for a consistent building block. You can make the case for him to go this high. Of course you can make a similar case another another inaccurately described as "undersized" forward, Dejuan Blair. And I suspect Josh will nab up the Schenley High School product with his next pick.
AP exceprt that got me thinking about Bobcats at least considering Tyler:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- If there was ever a player who could skip an audition in front of a bunch of North Carolina alums, it's Tyler Hansbrough...
But there was Hansbrough on Wednesday, being led through drills in a pre-draft workout by Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown and assistant Phil Ford, whose career scoring record Hansbrough broke last season at North Carolina.
It's no surprise Brown, North Carolina class of 1963, wasn't about to join the group of critics questioning how the 6-foot-8 Hansbrough will fare in the NBA.
"You know big guys in our league don't like to block out. They don't run on every play. They don't rebound every ball," Brown said. "So if you have the mentality to do those things you have a chance.
"And he's a much better athlete than most people think."
