If you know what I'm saying....
I can't bellieve people would want him on the squad!!! Hansborough, yes...Ellington, yes...Danny Green, F No!!!!!!
I would have hated him.
But I stand by my statement - every time some Duke hater in my office brought up I'm a real wanker for saying thisI'm a real wanker for saying thisI'm a real wanker for saying thisI'm a real wanker for saying thisie Hanstravel, I would try to defend him, but I would know deep down inside that the guy had a point about his whining, flopping, travelling, weak defense, and all around emesis-inducing aura. You know it's the truth.
Hansbrough.
He's exactly the kind of player you love on your team and hate on anyone else's team, ala Laettner, Hurley, Jones, etc...
Having him on the squad this year would make us the team to beat for the NC, IMHO.
s.i.
Wow Dave you really said it. I completely agree with everything you said. And I'll add some points of my own.
1) His defense is poop. Duke doesn't do zone and Hansbro doesn't have the ability to handle the crap calls Duke big men get. He'd freak out at some point and get T'd. Gives Psycho T a whole new meaning.
2) On offense, he constantly gets away with travelling, taking holiday weekend trips to the lane and whining. Dave said it well. I don't want to be associated with his bug-eyed whiney-ness.
3) He is an offensive black hole. Sure he scores alot. But how many of those points are at the expense of his teammates. When the ball goes in to him, it does not come back out again unless someone else on his team gets the rebound. Duke basketball is about teamwork and chemistry. Let's just say he would not fit in with this team. Even if Greg and Jon were as open as the grand canyon, Hansbro would chuck up an ill-advised shot with all five defenders in his face.
4) He is a jerk. I wish I could find the thread we had on TDD about him. For anyone who knows what I'm talking about a link would be helpful. "Don't you know who I am?"
5) He jumps into pools with his socks on. Enough said.
"Here's another thought game to get us through these long months..."
Gee, if only there were another Duke team playing another sport to help us get through these long months.
I'm just saying.
You know, I was thinking about this. I'm as guilty as the rest for playing this game... If I were a Duke player reading this, I'd probably be a little pissed. We're not showing them much support by "daydreaming" about what it would be like if we had this guy or that guy on the squad. Maybe we should get back to talking about our real team. They're a damn good bunch!
I love our team as it is. Wayne Ellington...bring him over. But aside from that, keep everyone else where they are. Forget it, we don't need them, we don't want them.
Our Devils are awesome -- there is no compare. If everyone has worked hard during the off-season, we will be at the top of the heap.
Keep all those other guys away from Cameron. We are the luckiest fans on the planet!!!!!
I'm assuming that a lot of Hanstravel's flaws WRT defense and passing are the result of coaching choices & philosophy. I think any real lack of help D or unselfish O would disappear in about 5 seconds under coach K.
I don't want anyone that has ever enrolled at unc. Green, hansblah or anyone that has worn that ugly blue. Matter of fact, lets just stick with our current team. Go Duke!
