1) Hansbrough was an extremely productive college player that stayed all four years at North Carolina. Larry Bird said he prefered 3-4 year college players over one-and-done or unproven European prospects.

3) He's a 6'8 (ish) power forward that can come in and immediately add depth to the frontcourt. With only Murphy (who isn't a banger), Hibbert (foul trouble), Foster (injury concerns), and McRoberts (12th man) on the depth chart, that is an area of need.
4) Bird raved about him at his press conference.
The only stipulation I'll put in there is that if Gerald Henderson is available, I think he's the pick. Henderson played with Bird on some of the really strong Celtics' teams of the 1980s. That being said, I doubt Henderson is available because he's been projected as high as #8 to the Knicks.
