"Eight freshmen who turned pro in 2007 went in the first round of the NBA Draft. Ten more freshmen went in the first round in 2008. All those million-dollar babies, gone. But Hansbrough dominated when they were in school, and he's still here. And he didn't get worse. He is rebounding more, shooting better, blocking more shots, turning it over less and scoring almost three points more per game than he did as a sophomore, when he was a consensus All-American.
And now he's not? Ridiculous."
Gregg Doyel, in a column arguing for Hansbrough to make first-team All-American.

Hansbrough's rebounding isn't better this year...
if anything it’s dropped off slightly. Unless you run an offense with four big men, I don’t see how Tyler gets on the first team over Thabeet, Blair, and Griffin.
Lawson, on the other hand, should be 1st team. He’s the best point guard in division I ball.
