UNC Basketball Update News and game summaries from a life-long North Carolina Basketball fan(atic)

Hansbrough and Lawson staying another year   More good news! InsideCarolina is reporting that at the team banquet tonight, Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson said they are going to stay another year. ESPN has more details. When I first read the headline, my instant reaction was Brandan Wright must be leaving or else he would have announced as well. Officially he is still "undecided". Even if Wright leaves, we are looking at this starting line-up next year: - Ty Lawson, point guard - Wayne Ellington, shooting guard - Danny Green or Marcus Ginyard, small forward - Deon Thompson, power forward - Tyler Hansbrough, center We'll be in the top 2 or 3 in next season's preseason poll (if not #1).

My personal opinion (hope) was that Tyler and Tywon would stay and that Brandon would leave. I thought of that as the best realistic scenario for the Tar Heels basketball team for next year. While I still think Brandon will go to the NBA this year, I am not as convinced of that after having read some of the other players' comments. Even without him, the '07-'08 Tar Heels will be a GREAT team with great but much more manageable depth. WITH him, the Heels will be...nevermind. It probably would not be a good idea to go there. Either way, I cannot wait until next season! GO HEELS!!!!! # posted by  Pat Barrows : 2:44 AM   Post a Comment << Home
