Very solid player, but I wouldn't call him the best in the country. That would have to be one of the amazing freshman players. Rose, Beasley, Gordon, and Mayo all have more talent.

No chance. this guy has the total package, great on defense, un selfish, effcient, great FT shooter, leadership, experiance, id take Tyler over all those guys you named, not a chance mayo is even close to the player that Tyler is right now, maybe later not now, rose nope, beasley maybe if he had the support cast but Hansbro is the best right now in my opinion

Tyler is a MACHINE. As for all the diaper dandies, Beasley is in a class all by himself right now.

nowhere near the best .... he is the beneficiary of great support from players and referees.

good system and coaching

yes he is a talent...a bull and will get better but best.....no

the system puts him in good position to take adv of his size and strength...down low...but mid-range game and jumper...lacking

better all around players out there...not many but there are

but everytime he see him....all i can think of is last year when the Dukie bitch slapped him and cut him open...didnt know if he wanted to bull rush the dukie (henderson i think) or cry

henderson should have been ejected for that... that was a blatant intentional foul

If Hansbrough could have retaliated without it hurting his team he would have..

Hansbrough is not anywhere near being the best player in the country. He is, as everyone pointed out, the hardest working individual who does all the little, scrappy things that other players do not enjoy. He is a product of his never give up attitude and going above and beyond. Other than that he is a little above average. No mid range game and he will be eaten alive by power forwards at the next level.

He ain't the best player in the country.  He's very good, but not the best.

Agreed, but with his intensity and work ethic, someone will be more than glad to pick him up. If Anderson Varejao can play in the league, there's no reason why Hansbrough can't.

NOT ANYWHERE NEAR???  Last time I checked he is the front runner for player of the year, a first team all american, and a first team all american last year.  He has also been first team all acc since his first year in the conference.  He may not have the most talent... but he is certainly one of the most dominant college players.  His numbers compared to those of Hibbert or any other big man in the country... there is no comparison.

You are right he will be drafted top 10 or top 15 in the nba draft. lol

I was not taking anything away from his accomplishments but he is not close to being the best player in the country. End of discussion.

Go drink some more ACC kool-aid

Tyler H -  22.2 points 9.8 boards
Roy Hibbert-  12.2ppg   6.4 boards
 
The only big man who's stats can be compared to Tyler H is Beasely's.

Before you post more of your bias Big-East views on this website you should go educate yourself on the geographical location of Pakistan, and perhaps learn a thing or two about college football before placing ridiculous 100 dollar bets that you can't live up to

who's comparing Hibbert?

2 different types of players and Hibbert arguably is more of a game changer than Hansbrough.

You should also educate yourself on both the Gtown style of play and UNC. Gtown has less possessions and scores at a lower clip. So obviously Hibbert will have lower points and boards because there are less possessions and less shots throughout the game. As people have said Hansbrough is a product of the UNC system of running and gunning. More possession + more shots = more opportunities for Hansbrough to obtain his #s.

OJ Mayo, Beasley, Donte Green, Eric Gordan, Derick Rose, Deandre Jordan, Bayless, Darren Collison, Budinger, Kevin Love, Augustine, Rush... those are just names off the top of my head that are better players than Hansbrough and most of them are sophomore and freshman

ive never posted a NCAA football bet on this site so go educate yourself..

ps. I asked my friend who is originally from Pakistan and his direct response was it is debatable. Technically they are southwest Asia but many people consider them as the most eastern country of the Middle East. Thus why some websites and maps have Pakistan on Middle Eastern maps and other websites do not.

Nice Duke ML vs. Pitt

Nice 30 point loss to Dayton.  Nice 0 teams undefeated in the Big East.  Nice 4th rated conference in the RPI.   Nice 3 point win over UCF  Enjoy the battle for the NIT
