I have/had concerns about how well his skills would transfer to the NBA, and at the time, I would have preferred James Johnson, Eric Maynor, or perhaps Ty Lawson. That being said, once he became a Pacer, I have only been pulling for his success. I was disappointed he missed preseason, but I had been hopeful he would return quickly. I have been pretty impressed with his performance in his first three games, but he did markedly struggle in the Boston game. I think he brings things to the team that it sorely needs, and I noted as much in the article above. Regarding the play in question, it was a relatively humorous/embarrassing string of events. However, here's what I'll say about Tyler: He won't care. This isn't the first time that something like this has happened to him, and it certainly won't be the last. However, he simply won't care. I think he will continue to hammer away until he figures out a way to make a place in the league. I don't see that place being a star, and perhaps not even a starter, but I can see how he can help this team win games...now and in the future.

One interesting observation, what was the Pacer's W-L record before Hansbrough played, and what is it since? Whatever else you may want to say, you can say that the guy is a winner, and his mode of always attacking is contagious to his teammates. Yep, I saw the Hansbrough “move’ that you speak of.
