Hansborough has got a big dose of the "wants", unlike about 80% of the pretty boys in the NBE who can't do a damn thing other than dunk the ball. You know, the ones that worry more about styling than playing.

I concur, that Hansbrough may be a lot like Cowens.....but, I wouldn't necessarily compare the consistant athleticism and size Cowens had to operate against, versus what Hansbrough is going to see. Overall, I believe they have very similar engines, desire, and heart, and I too like the fact that he's more "blue collar". I don't think he's Dave Cowens though (who also had some darn good teams around him (of course, he made them better too)). Time will tell. JMO
