No doubt these are a lot sweeter when celebrating a national title. The banquet will be held at the Smith Center and is open to the public with the doors opening at 6:30. The ceremony will begin at 7 PM.
Two years ago Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson announced they would return for another season. I seriously doubt we hear anything from Lawson or Wayne Ellington on their future plans. In fact I am betting on early next week for that. As for the awards feel free to speculate as to who you think will win. My guesses?
Team MVP: Ty Lawson
Most Improved: Danny Green
Best Defender: Ed Davis or Bobby Frasor

ahms..ahms for the out of state guy, Looking for a SI NC edition. uncgirl said she would try to get me one but I don’t think it’s happening (thanks for trying uncgirl). If you have an extra one or see one I will pay you for it as well as send a self stamped and addressed envelope for you to slide that precious little thing into. Thanks for any help.
Team MVP: Ty Lawson
Most Improved: Ellington (I think Danny just played more, but his big improvement came between his sophomore/junior season)
Best Defender: Frasor
[...] far as the awards that will be handed out at the banquet the Tar Heel Fan has his choices for them, and so I guess I can throw my two cents into it as [...]
I agree with you C. Michael on Ellington being MIP. He could always shoot the ball, but his ability to drive to the basket improved and also his defense. I though he put more pressure on shooters this year minus a couple of games.
Now that I think about it a bit more, I’d recast my vote as:
Team MVP: Lawson
Most Improved: Lawson
Best Defender: Lawson
Anyone thinking we will lose some of our coaches??
I’d like to see Bobby get some sort of award so best defender over the course of the season was Bobby. In the NCAAT Ty Lawson was our best defender and MVP.
My Awards:
Glue Guy Award: Danny Green
Unselfish Award: Tyler Hansbrough
Most Determined to Silence the Critics: Wayne Ellington
Hidden from the NBA Award: Ed Davis
I Want a Championship Ring Award: Tyler Zeller
What in the Hell Happened Award: Will Graves
Tougher Than You Think Award: Deon Thompson
“Anyone thinking we will lose some of our coaches??”
Certainly not Robinson or Holladay. While both are great with Roy, neither is considered a hot prospect for another HC job due to either age or previous attempts.
Haase might be in a few years, perhaps even as Bill Self’s replacement at KU, which, IMO, would be awesome.
keithunc, which edition are you looking the regular edition or the comment. issue?
Team MVP: Hansbrough. Lawson is the engine, but TH is the soul.
Most improved: Ellington. He was an NBA player his last month.
Best defender: Davis. Much as I love and admire Frasor, you can drive and get a layup on him because his lateral movement is not all that good. Tty and get a layup driving at Davis.
keithunc, reason why I ask is I know a guy who has tons of them. Plus he is getting the hard back book today.
Looking for the special edition one. Was able to buy the regular edition with Tyler on the cover. Any help would be much appreciated.
here is my email address:dbpridgen69@suddenlink.net. I’ll see if my buddy has any left if not I saw a lot at a store near here Tuesday night. (Please put “keithunc” in subject box.
