Tyler Hansbrough - Indiana Pacers (13th overall)
Tywon Lawson - Minnesota Timberwolves (18th overall)
Wayne Ellington - Minnesota Timberwolves (28th overall)
Danny Green - Cleveland Cavaliers (45th overall)
As expected, three Tar Heels get selected in the first round. I was surprised to see Tyler Hansbrough go ahead of Ty Lawson though. I thought the speed demon point guard had the best shot to land in the lottery.
I thought it was hilarious and stupid for Minnesota drafting three point guards with their first three picks (Spain's Ricky Rubio, Syracuse's Jonny Flynn and Lawson). That said, they've agreed to send Lawson to Denver for a future 1st rounder. The Nuggets just improved their exciting high-octane offense by adding him to their roster. He is expected to log backup minutes for Billups.
Meanwhile, Cleveland is getting a heck of a player with swingman Danny Green. Dude will be a solid contributor for the Cavs. I fully expect him to crack the rotation given the lack of quality bench players in Cleveland.
No matter how they fare in the NBA, the teams that drafted these UNC players are getting proven winners.
