Sports Illustrated on Psycho T.

I got done reading this article on Sports Illustrated about Ty Hansbrough. If you need a pick-me up about the Pacers, this one can make you feel okay, if you let it.

You can argue and debate stuff concerning this article. But one thing that is not debatable is that Ty knocking out Stephen Jackson with his boisterous bows is freakin' awesome.

I agree with Larry's thinking when he drafted this guy, especially when he was talking about how a lot of the NBA players are a bunch of softy wussies. The issue with Ty is he's still young, still has a lot of fine-tuning to accomplish, and is still working the system. A system I hope we scuttle in favor of a new one. However, if we can develop this guy Ty, I think he could be a pivitol piece of the post-palace-Pacers puzzle as a potent power player.


Add a guy to the roster who shows that same amount of intensity, that does NOT(!) go into the opposing teams stands, and they could be identity formers and swagger developers. Swagger is more for a football thing, but it still can go eons when developing a team with less than top-o-the-line talent. Get a good coach who can find someway to build camaraderie amongst the group, light a fire under them, and ultimately get the most out of the talent then we could have a bright future.

Pretty good

I was someone who really did not like the pick of Tyler in last years draft and still think that philosophically it was the wrong way to go. However, I’m now starting to see that there is a chance that Tyler will be a useful piece of our puzzle. No, I still don’t think he can be one of the three best players on a championship team but I think he might be a valuable role player for a championship team.

Good article. I like Tyler’s toughness, and I think he’ll make a great 6th man, but there is no way I’d want him to start.

Does Tyler get blocked a lot cause it seems like it?
