How many fouls would he average per 36 though?

In addition to his defense two things that this team needed were offensive boards and guys that push in transition. If he and the guys that can run like Kemba and Lin get going, then more easy baskets. I want to see Lin lobbing to MKG also. I think that's coming.

Hansbrough is currently tenth in the NBA in offensive rebounds per 36. The problem is that the coach has almost prevented the team from going after offensive boards, instructing them to run back to prevent transition (high FG%) buckets. But there has to be a balance when you have two guys who excel on the offensive boards like Kidd-Gilchrist and Hansbrough. I have noticed that both of those guys have the green light on that end. Also, against certain teams, Coach Clifford will tell the team to hit the glass hard at both ends of the floor. I think the Lakers were one of them.

As for defense, Hansbrough is highly skilled, as we saw the last two nights. He is second on the team in steals per 36 minutes. His offensive game has not come around yet this season, however. Tyler still has not fully regained his confidence, or he would have shot that three-pointer in the fourth quarter last night, instead of passing late in the clock.

The more time he gets on the floor with Lin as PG the more his offense will come around. We saw that on several occasions against the Lakers, who admittedly, are a weak P&R defending team. Lakers coach does not believe in the P&R and 3 pt shooting, hence their offense does not incorporate those plays into the team's emphasis, and similarly their defense does not know how to defend those plays either. Scott is a failure as a modern era coach. Lakers owe it to their fans to get a better leader.

you sound like old school coaches don't know how to defend PnR and threes, that's not right... Byron is no school

I inferred no such thing about old school coaches.
