I like it. It's not a risky pick and I think he'll be really solid for a long time. He'll work his ass off and add some competitive leadership to
the Pacers.
Plus, Hansbourgh has something to prove and I love players like that. |

I believe he will work hard and be very competitive, but I just don't see his game translating into the NBA. I don't see him as an all-star, but he
will be around the league for 5-8 years.

The Pacers problem is they don't defend. Can Hansbrough defend?

I wouldn't have spent that high of pick on him, but he will work hard and maybe give a touch of attitude to the team. I think he'll find a way to stay
around for many years.

I thought he'd go right at the end of the first round, as his NBA ceiling is relatively low compared to others taken around that pick. One nice thing is
that Tyler will come in and contribute immediately, but his role will be limited, as he doesn't bring upside beyond the guys already on the Pacer's
roster in the front court.

He has always been a winner! He won't have behavioral problems like some of the former Pacers (Ron Artest, for some reason, comes to mind).
