Tyler Hansbrough = David Lee?

Seems like TH may bring a game similar to David Lee. So-so defense, but a non stop motor, a high rate of rebounds, including offensive, and a game predicated on scoring inside 10 ft., via putbacks, baby hooks, etc. Does this seem like a fair assessment? I have the #13 pick in my draft next week, and am tempted to grab TH, as I'm sure he'll be there, and if he indeed can live up to the David Lee standard, me thinks it is a worthy pick!

Funny, I was thinking the same thing

We heard from Wheels and Larry Miller that KP was trying to move up in the draft to select Psycho T, but Indy picked him ‘way up at #13. So, now that Hedo’s gone to the Great White North who is KP’s second choice? Tyler’s “big brother” David Lee

This news really should come as no surprise…but it does, because most of Blazersedge seems to be looking in a different direction?

When reached 39 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!

Same type of player

I think few people place Psycho T’s upside as high as David Lee though.

Lee is a far superior athlete-- for example, he won the McDonalds All-America dunk contest

Despite Hansbrough’s dunk on (more like around) Kenny George while he was at UNC, I can’t really imagine him winning a dunk contest.

Judging from combine results alone, they are pretty similar other than their no step vert, Lee's got him there

The Chicago Bulls.....the more profitable Los Angeles Clippers.

Lee's capable of getting way more rebounds than Hansbrough will ever get.

Hansbrough is more of a poor man’s David Lee. He’s the same type of player, only not nearly as good.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.—Dune

Blazers needs? The Blazers still need a back up power forward and IMO Antonio McDyess is that player that they need at that spot. And McDyess is a very good Vet.
Mark ‘Dyess’ down for a double-double each night. After re-joining Detroit mid-season, the polite veteran posted a workmanlike 10 points and 10 rebounds per game. McDyess could replace Yao in Houston, where he, coincidentally, has his off-season home. But if KP can Make him an offer and let him know Portland is where he needs to be if he wants a RING. The Blazers need McDyess as their back up power forward/Center. And he won’t cost as much as Lee and IMO you get the same thing from both players. And I like D.Harris better then A.Miller and that just MO
