Tyler Hansbrough vs. Luke Harangody

Tyler Hansbrough and Luke Harangody got some comparisons made between one another last season, so while there’s still not a lot of action this offseason, Gary Parrish of CBS Sports has a nice little article about the two big men to get you pumped for a possible Naismith Players of the Year Award competition.

The names are similar, the numbers are similar, but by far the thing that gets these two players compared to one another the most is their looks. They’re both wide bodies bruisers, white with short hair, who play around the basket. A while ago we had a blog here about true player comparisons, how guys like Adam Morrison (former Gonzaga forward) and Larry Bird get compared simply because they look alike. But I digress. Here are some of the similar things that we sound between these two players.
