He would probably be a great Harlem Globetrotter, less the surly attitude. Finally, I recall Hansbrough leaping off of a UNC frat house - he looked pretty impressive there. I don't remember seeing McBob jumping off the Bryan Center.
He may have some height on Hansbrough, but Hansbrough is a bull around the rim and is a great finisher, despite his unorthodox style and penchant for walking. Can that translate to the NBA? We'll have to see. It worked for Antawan Jamison
McBob averaged 7 and 6 in the D-League. When he declared for the draft, I said he would never get a second contract. After one season, that prediction is still looking good.
