Tyler Hansbrough has announced he'll be staying for his senior year at North Carolina.The AP national player of the year, who averaged 22.6 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, has decided to stick around and pick up his degree. That, and take one more shot at the national championship.
The siren song of the NBA draft has already lured the likes of OJ Mayo, Michael Beasley, and DJ Augustin. Hansbrough's teammates Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington will also declare for the draft but do not plan to hire agents, so a return to North Carolina is still possible.
The sky is the limit for Mayo and Beasley, who fared well in their season-long auditions for the NBA. But Hansbrough, tremendous heart and toughness notwithstanding, is still 6'9" post man that will never dominate at the next level.
That's why this decision makes sense. Why jump prematurely into a journeyman career? Hansbrough will put up more solid numbers next season, maybe get that coveted championship if Lawson and Ellington change their minds, and still be a mid-first round draft pick in 2009. And if an NBA career really doesn't pan out, Hansbrough will have a college degree in his back pocket.
Kudos to Hansbrough for putting the money on hold while he pursues things that matter more.

I agree completely. His legacy as a player is going to be defined by his college career. He should stay and try to win one.
Hansbrough is a wonderful college player who is really enjoying his time at UNC. Its very debateable how good he will be in the NBA, but for now he's the favorite to go back to back for Player of the Year. Ultimately though his legacy will be defined by whether or not he can win that championship.
