Hansbrough is out until mid-November. Doubt he starts off the bat.

Ty Lawson is the real deal in the NBA and i will be the first to admit that i wasn’t so sure. way to go Ty! i think people underestimated the talent last year, as they always do, as ty is an impact player as it would appear, wayne (while on a crap team) was playing in the final minutes of the minnesota game last night, DG got some playing time on opening night for the cavs, and tyler is going to be starting for the pacers (is he hurt? haven’t followed it much but great at&t ad or whatever that is)….these guys are otu there ready and able to contribute to NBA teams, and that is more than a lot of the nay sayers thought.

anyways, LD can be different than Ty and help this team in two ways. effective 3 point shooting (that’s not a difference from ty sorry), using the pass to advance the ball, and using the pass in dribble drive and screen roll situations. Of course the PG laying it up is always option 1, but i really remember about 10 to 1 times Ty took a screen roll all the way to the paint versus actually dishing it to the screener or kicking it out when help collapsed. of COURSE we’d prefer layups, but knowing that LD is bottled lightning like Ty, there is nothing wrong w/ using your body, using the spacing on the floor, and using our talented bigs to his advantage.

Yup, I saw it. I usually watch the board, but rarely comment, and when I do, its with a different handle. I find the conversations here far more intelligent, civil, and sane; but you can get some good info over there, too.

As for the intended topic of this post, it looks like the coaches think UNC has MORE talent than questions: ranked #4 in the preseason poll!

We don’t need LD2 getting popped for assault on a female.

LD2 just needs to watch a ton of Ed Cota tapes.

C.Micheal: You saw that? Wow. I did not know that simply introducing myself on IC would get that big. I mean, I’m so honored! I have a “HOT” thread!
