Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson will return to UNC next season instead of entering the NBA draft early. "I've definitely decided that I will be back [for] my junior year," Hansbrough said Tuesday. "Personally, I'm not ready for the next step of the NBA." Lawson, who had the best assist-turnover ratio in the ACC, announced he would return for his sophomore season by deadpanning a joke during the ceremony at the Dean Smith Center. (Tar Heel Blue)
