Tyler Hansborough in NBA: David Lee or Mark Madsen?

[foshizzle]

Had an argument with my roomate, he claims Tyler Hansborough will be a Mark Madsen in the league, I think he will be almost exactly like David Lee.

If you had to pick one who do you think he will be like (and not just in his rookie year)? Also throw in any other comparisons you have.

Mark Madson/Eduardo Najera

I don't get the Madsen/Najera comparisons.....Hansborough is WAY more offensively gifted than both of those guys. Comparing him to Madsen is a damn slap inthe face. He's not as athletic as David Lee, but I could see him scoring in double figures, and being close to averaging 10 boards per game at some pointin his NBA career. His greatest attribute is his drive. He's the type of guy that a lot of teams would love to have on their roster. I see him being aUdonis Haslem type of player on the next level.

He isn't as half as athletic as David Lee...all of that turn and throw yourself into the defender nonsense ain't going to fly in the league.

While he does share similar characteristics to Udonis, Haslem is still IMO one of the best defenders in the league.

People giving him too much

. Let him be a college player,once he goes pro, then criticize him.

 

[tylerdub]

I think he will be a role player. He will make way more money than me for a long time to score 6-10 points and pull down 4-8 rebounds.

I don't see the comparison to Kris Humphries.

Kris is super athletic.

Could you explain that one?

Similar to Leon Powe.

[minah86]

why does his game have to be compared between 2 caucasian guys just because he himself is? i second the leon powe comment.

 

[N41D]

Less productive Nick Collison.

i dont think anyone did since he was always hurt

i dont see how comparing him to madsen is a slap in the face when he was like a 13 and 10 guy his last year at stanford

there is nothing about handjob that says Udonis Haslem NOTHING at all

Apparently you didn't comprehend the question. It was about who he best compares to in the NBA. And even now Leon ismore athletic than Hansborough but they do have a similar game.
