Tyler Hansbrough
Andrew Tyler Hansbrough will likely be better known as “Psycho T” for the remainder of his basketball career. But Hansbrough was — and is — so much more than a world-class agitator. At the University of North Carolina, he was the first player in ACC history to not only be named First Team All-ACC four times, but to also be named to a First Team All-American squad in each of his four seasons.
After being taken in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, Hansbrough spent the past eight seasons in the league, before joining the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA G-League, and finally landing in China. While some will try to argue that Hansbrough’s career wasn’t a complete trainwreck (like some of the others on this list) — 6ppg on 43% shooting is not exactly what you look for when you draft a guy who was one of the best college basketball players of all time. Although his lack of athleticism was always going to limit him, there have been plenty of NBA players who have done much more with much less.
