He is a perfect example of a a great college player, probably not a great nba player imo |

Nice to see that a kid can pass on money for education. |

He is a perfect example of a a great college player, probably not a great nba player imo Hansbrough works hard and plays with a lot of intensity; however, he gets out of control too much. Fortunately for him, he seems to have a great relationship with the officials. He won't get the benefit of those calls in the NBA. |

Had they never matched up with Kansas I think he would have declared, but his stock slipped in that game. |

Nice to see that a kid can pass on money for education. While he may not be a star, he will definately be a 1st round (maybe lottery pick). The NBA wil always draft the tall hustle guys. Guys willing to the the dirty work. Think of a Mark Madsen career with more FG's. Mark Madsen made a pretty good career out being a hustle guy.

Credits: 6,341 | Re: Hansbrough coming back for senior year...Lawson and Ellington going pro looking at all the juniors who are going to the draft this year and not hiring agents it makes me wonder if WJ will try it next year so he can see what he needs to improve on. I think as long as he comes back for his senior year it would be great for him and hopefully push him to improve his game to the next level for his senior year. |

I love watching him play, not for his skills, because he never looks like he knows whats going on. |

It makes sense for any junior worth anything to declare now just to test the waters so why not remove the formality...

However, I must add this, in agreeing with LindenCy: you show me a player who decides to stay in school and "passes up the money" for now, and I'll show you a player from at least an upper-middle class family, who doesn't want for much. |
