Can't escape Tyler

Haven't picked up a paper or turned on SportsCenter (other than to get a Cardinals score) but sitting here checking my email at a coffee joint (love that free Wifi), I see a SF Chronicle and need to kill some time while Jen is in a meeting (she has a conference and her vacation starts tonight). Back on page D7 what do I see but Tyler Hansbrough throwing up one of his jump-put shots with a story about the Thursday night's NBA Draft.

Rob Tate will have a story on Tyler in Thursday's DAR while he and Alex Abate will have full coverage of the Draft in Friday's edition. (Note to my boss, I bought the plane tickets in March not knowing the date of the draft, not that I had much of a choice other than vacation or divorice.)

Anyway, good luck to the teams that pass on Tyler. It seems like everybody who ever said he couldn't do something -- win a state title, play in college, win a national title, finish college, play in the NBA, whatever -- just fuels this guy that much more.

As for when Hansbrough will be picked, nobody seems to know. I know this, if he goes to Memphis, there will be a lot of season tickets sold to the 63901 area code. If he goes to Golden State, my vacation is over early.
