Tyler Hansbrough Disrespected
By Ron Campbell
11/12/09

Tyler Hansbrough a.k.a Psycho T was a terrific player at the University of North Carolina. His list of accomplishments at UNC is extensive to say the least; National player of the year, ACC player of the year, four time all ACC first team selection, national champion etc. Tyler is UNC's all time leading scorer a school that produced countless NBA players including Rasheed Wallace, Vince Carter, Kenny Smith, Sam Perkins, James Worthy and another guy maybe you heard of named Michael Jordan. I could go on for days about all of Tyler's accomplishments but despite all of his achievements and college success Tyler still slipped all the way down to pick number 13 in the 2009 NBA draft and was selected by the Indiana Pacers.

It is really bizarre when you think about it. How could the NBA general managers and scouts totally discredit his achievements? How could this guy not be selected in the top five? It's like it has become a bad thing for kids to stay in school and hone their skills and talents. Well luckily for the Indiana Pacers the majority of the NBA scouts and GM's are narrow minded and clueless.

Tyler hasn't even played 48 minutes this season due to a shin injury. As a matter of fact, Tyler has only appeared in two games and played a total of 30 minutes but in those 30 minutes he has registered 24 points and 11 rebounds and has demonstrated that he can play at the NBA level. Not only will he bring scoring and rebounding to the Indiana Pacers but it is only a matter of time before his leadership, passion and desire to win rubs off on his teammates. Tyler's minutes are being limited now because of injury but expect Psycho T to have a strong rookie campaign once he is healthy.
