Is he a jerk? If so he'd be a hindrance to team chemistry which KP wouldn't draft. Storm, why does everyone hate Hansbrough? Is he a jerk?

I've not seen much college ball so I'll admit I know squat when it comes to draft crops but I am a good critical reader and know my NBA pretty well. Darren Collison as an individual may not be what we need (I wouldn't know) but he is accredited with the attributes we need in our future backup at point: defense and distribution. Bayless may be a marvelous scorer but until he learns to pass he will not get minutes. We need someone to distribute the ball while Blake is on the bench. Until he reaches his potential that won't be Bayless' gig. I don't like the idea of forcing Roy into the PG spot, or of getting a ballhog point because Roy can distribute ok.
