UNC would’ve been the clear-cut favorite for preseason No. 1 seed had Ellington, Lawson and Hansbrough all returned, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Though Tyler Hansbrough has decided to return to UNC for his senior season, Ty Lawson, the super-quick point guard, and Wayne Ellington, the sharp shooter with all-around game.

Neither Lawson nor Ellington will hire an agent, leaving them a window to return to school. Though unlikely — I’d guess Ellington could crack the top 10, and Lawson’s a sure first rounder — they do have the option to return and team up with Hansbrough in what would be a ridiculous Fab Three.
