I say Hansbrough is picked at the top of the 2nd round.

I doubt he enters the draft but if he does then I think he would be a 20-30 range because there arent many players in the NBA who play with the emotion and passion that he does.He is fearless and best of all HE DOESNT COMPLAIN!He is the perfect guy for any team in the NBA his hard work and passion would rub of on those lazy team mates.I could see him being a little like David Lee IMHO

Yeah I agree with nyk2423...probably somewhere in the 18-30 range. Obviously there are issues about his limitations athletically and concerns that his game won't translate well in the NBA but he is still ultimately an extremely skilled player that plays hard all the time.

I see no way Hansbrough would fall out of the first round. He'll almost certainly be a role player at the NBA level, which is all you can really ask for towards the end of the first.
Looking at previous winners also makes a 2nd round spot unlikely:
2007 - Durant, #3
2006 - Redick, #11
2005 - Bogut, #1
2004 - Nelson, #20
2003 - Ford, #8
Williams, #2
Battier, #6
Martin, #1
Brand, #1
Jamison, #4
Duncan, #1
Camby, #2
Smith, #1
Robinson, #1
Cheaney, #6
Laettner, #3
... and I could keep going. List is basically the same for the Wooden. In other words, no Naismith winner has ever failed to go in the top 20, let alone 30. Whether it's smart or not, some team might even snap him up before 20.
