Hansberry has the best hands and touch since Dale Soloman
Hansberry can do it all, pass, rebound, score with his back to the basket or shoot from distance.
Soloman played for VT from 78-82, was 6'9" and around 250 lbs and averaged 18.4 pts a game and scored 2,136 pts.. One reporter described him as looking like a blacksmith in a basketball uniform.

...the season started. So true!
He is the best, and most consistent player on the team.

Me and some friends lived there and played some 21 with Dale. He was about 6’8”. He won those games without any problems 😀. Very nice man
Also managed a Champs store and we had Moir Bobby Beecher and Roy Brow in for a converse promotion. Really nice players. Took them to dinner and coach Moir went off about Perry Young. Great player but a real head case according to the coach

Had we been in the ACC back then, I believe it would’ve happened.
