Our Carolina friends love to bring this up, and with Hansbrough returning for his senior season and likely to break JJ's scoring record, it's interesting to compare them once more. Here's the thing: They've had remarkably similar career paths.
-Both are four-year players whose draft stock wasn't particularly high after their junior seasons, despite incredibly high-profile status.
-Both had a total of eight NCAA Tourney wins through their first three seasons (something to remind your UNC friends the next time they harp on JJ's lack of postseason success).
-Both reach one Final Four in their first three seasons.
-Hansbrough has scored 2,168 points so far; Redick had 1,805.
-Both players have been criticized for receiving too much publicity based on a) their race and b) the school where they played.

We'll see if Hansbrough is able to achieve the senior-year goal J.J. couldn't reach. But their careers have been remarkably similar to this point.
