Thank you! It was impressive early in the season the confidence he played with, driving the lane to contract and crashing the boards. Obviously has that silky jumper. Cant wait to see the jump he takes this year with some added muscle and full year under his belt.

Major leap incoming this season!

Ive been a fan since his second year of HS and AAU days

Cannot wait for the season to start

What was his best game last season?

 

[NJHoops]

Started the season injured, ended the season injured, and had COVID in the middle. He’s the perfect candidate for a big sophomore season jump.

What was his best game last season?

Auburn

One good thing not talked about enough about his freshman season is that the nickname “The Air fryer” didn’t stick.

What a horrible nickname that would have been

Forgot all about it till I watched the highlight video & rewatched the Auburn portion

Air fryer.

Overtook cast iron skillet as best way to reheat pizza.

What was his best game last season?

Yeah probably the Auburn game but he didn't miss a shot in that game, which obviously isn't going to happen too often for anyone. Grambling game wasn't too bad also. Looking at his game-by-game stats it's obvious he was very inconsistent. Probably a combination of just being a freshman, the injuries and Covid. Need a more consistent season from him.

He probably had the dunk of the year in the game at GTown. Don’t recall a better one than that unless Ajax had one I’m missing?

The dunk where Hawkins assisted Dre against Grambling is the only dunk competing from my memory at the 3:00 minute mark.

Hawkins had a great poster and is no doubt a future NBA guard but stop with the foolishness

What foolishness are you referring to? Do you think he meant best dunk in all of college basketball? Pretty sure he was saying it was the UConn dunk of the year. Don't think there's anything foolish about that.

Jordan’s improvement is a major factor in how good this team can be. You watch the highlights and see glimpses of stardom but can he do this on a mostly consistent basis? This will be the key.

One somewhat unexpected major leap would be Samson Johnson. If Clingan is spot on with his analysis this would be a bonus improvement as well. Interesting team no doubt.

Almost as bad as that guy who used to call games on ESPNU that kept trying to call our guys "Sled Dogs" or some dumb crap like that
