So what does a soon-to-be first-round draft pick do between workouts?
Go car shopping.
Former North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough spent last weekend checking out the sleek rides at Performance BMW in Chapel Hill, he writes in his blog at NBA.com.
"Coach [Roy] Williams has always had a BMW, so I've always liked his,'' he writes. "But I'm out there looking at different ones because I've always been a truck guy all my life. So it's been pretty cool checking out the cars and driving them around."
Hansbrough, who has been moving up the mock draft boards, worked out for the Utah Jazz on Monday. The draft is June 25.

Knowing what you want -- or
Sun, 08/30/2009 - 22:54 — samcan123Knowing what you want -- or need -- before you start making the rounds of dealerships can save both time and money. It's human nature to go looking for a practical family vehicle like a minivan, but be distracted in the showroom by a flashy sport sedan that costs more. So be careful with shopping new cars.

Sat, 07/18/2009 - 08:16 — micbevAn automobile or motor car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.[1] However, the term automobile is far from precise, because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks.

Wow! Someone might want to
Fri, 06/26/2009 - 01:40 — alankissaneWow! Someone might want to advise him that 60% of NBA players are BROKE within 5 years of the end of their playing career. It's hard to believe that somebody is in a rush to go out and WASTE money that they dont even have yet. How about spending 30-40K less for a car(Which all cars only have one purpose and that is to get from point A to B), and putting money in the bank for the future. What a concept!!

True car shopping is a bit

No need for a car
Wed, 06/17/2009 - 12:32 — SurferWrong, he didn't need a car in college. He ran everywhere. Going home to PB, Mo. took a few days, but he got in his workout along the way.
mr.flop
Wed, 06/17/2009 - 10:56 — bluecathansdowner , aka mr.flop will never make it in the pros, end of story. go dUKE !!!!!!!!!!
Ooo, scary
Wed, 06/17/2009 - 11:22 — SurferOh wait, Dukies do have the most experience regarding good college players not making in in the NBA, so we will just have to wait and see. BTW, don't you think Greg P. would take exception to you using the Mr. Flop moniker on anyone else but him? But, I do agree, Tyler "Handsdown" is the current scoring leader in the ACC. Also, you have a stadium named for him, you would think that you could spell his name correctly, oh sorry, I forgot......
hookers
Fri, 06/19/2009 - 14:09 — bluecatsurfer,,u know in your heart that dookies cant spell , but we are excellent when it COMES to hookers , didnt u read the papers the last 2 years. go dook!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't blame you Mr. T. Hanbrough...see on the NBA level...M Series is very tight and SUV X5 aint bad to drive around either..?????
Standard fare
Tue, 06/16/2009 - 11:50 — SurferGot my first bimmer at Performance. With Roy, Butch, and Stackhouse, the ones I know of, and surely others, it is the place to go with a few bucks in your pocket if you are looking for a good ride.
