Can anyone name 13 better prospects than Daniel Hamilton for the nBA?

[J187Money]

Prove it Or at least give some rationale for this kind of statement

There were like 100 articles that said that DD being 21 hurt his draft stock. He had one great year, and he was older than the one and dones.

Montrezl Harrell 2014-15

Daniel Hamilton 2014-15
10.6 PPG
7.7 RPG
3.6 APG
There's your answer

Haha, you do know that Harrell is two years older, right?

It's that type of logic that leads to Thomas Robinson being taken before Andre Drummond.

Meaning that if he had that kind of year at 18 or 19...

 

[champs99and04]

I don't see Harrell as much of a prospect, personally. He's undersized and he has no offensive game other than lobs/put backs. If Thomas Robinson, who was a much better college player, never amounted to anything in the NBA, I'm not sure why I'm taking Harrell with a first round pick.

The issue is that Harrell is 6'5.75" without shoes. so he is a 6'7" power forward. Average wingspan for an NBA power foward. He needs to be able to drive to the hoop and make 3s at a high clip to be an impact NBA player.

Dham is a prototypical NBA wing that can pass, rebound, drive to the hoop and has both a mid range game and 3 point shot. He is two years younger than Harrell, so his potential is higher. Therefore, he is much more desirable to an NBA team. If Dham makes an average freshman to sophomore jump then his numbers should be in the neighborhood of 14-16 points per game, 8-9 rebounds, and 4-6 assists. If he can become a more consistent shooter, then he can easily be a top 10 pick next year and has the potential to be an nba all star.

The entire Kentucky rosters of Kentucky and Duke if you believe the media (especially ESPN) love-fest with those programs.....

Actually, according to ESPN Kentucky's roster can beat the 1992 Olympic Dream Team.

[SubbaBub]

Is DHam so much better than DD was last year? He doesn't dominate this level, so it's unlikely. The NBA doesn't draft on potential as much as they used to do. For all he's shown in the last few weeks, he has a lot to tighten up in his game before even thinking about the NBA.

it's how the nba works. Look at the first rounds of the last 10 years. There are MANY players each year that are 18-19 that are much less proven players than Daniels who were drafted. High school and foreign players who played against inferior talent compared to Deandre who were drafted on potential

 

[Cheeky]

Let's hope there's 20

Post of the month, and it's only March 1.

 

[FartMan69]

Take off your UConn glasses and than say you would take Hamilton over Harrell in THIS years draft. There is a reason that every single draft expert has Harrell in the first round and Hamilton not even on the board. Of course BYer's are the real experts though

Well, I guess it's two different discussions. Harrell will probably go higher in this years draft, yes. But that doesn't mean he's the better prospect.

Can't really argue it until they're 2-3 years in the league anyway so its a moot point. But if your drafting in 2015 you go Harrell 100%

Harrell is limited. In the NBA he doesn't have the length at 6-8 to power through guys like he did in college. He never expanded his game successfully. The person who said he should've left last year was dead on.
An NBA GM drafting mid range id DEFINITELY going potential against somewhat limited upperclassmen production. These scouts take analytics seriously and Im sure Hamilton is all over their radars by now.

I'm only saying that he's a better prospect right now. Hamilton will be the better NBA player

No. I'm not going to do the work for you. Since apparently you dropped out of the sky like two weeks ago.

 

[TheConnRules]

Smh here we go again with the lists. Scrappy what don't you understand? Just bc a guy leads the nation in scoring doesn't mean he's a NBA prospect let alone the number 30 prospect from Northwestern St. And you think a lottery team is going to take a player from Incarnate Word in the second round? Remember when guys could actually score in basketball and lead the nation in scoring with a 28.0 average? They never got drafted. Someone leading the nation in scoring at 22.8 from the southland conference is not getting picked. Don't show that list to nbadraft.net or draftexpress. They will hurt you're feelings.

 

[Jay-Bone]

The OP is not completely irrational here. The NBA often drafts based on 3 or 4 years in the future. Predominantly for height though because there is later maturity and less skill demand to make an impact. You can't teach height. Top 15 prospect for next year, no way, but to say there is no possibility of DH producing within the top 15 of this year's draft 4 years from now is even more irrational. There seems like there is a lot of potential there as he can do above average on just about everything. Now there's also 20 - 40 other prospects you can say there is a high upside on too. Either way, the kid is special, and we all know what Huskies do in the NBA. I like the optimism....stay Scrappy.

 

[Stainmaster]

Hamilton will be a top-10 pick before all is said and done.

That being said, all is nowhere close to being said and done yet.

 

[TheConnRules]

Hamilton can play no doubt about that, but he hasn't progressed like other freshmen have this year. I've seen the talk on this web site that if he has a great end to the season and AAC tourney/ NCAA tourney his stock will never be higher and he should leave. If that happens its part of the sport but needs another year to develop. Brimah on the other hand has made progress but still has a long way to go on both ends of the court. Saying both are top five picks is insane.

 

[Husky25]

Frank Kaminsky has only been mentioned once?

Wouldn't that make DH the better prospect? Since prospect refers to the future

You are either blind or you haven't watched much UConn bb this season. Daniel has improved quite a bit. He just recieved freshman of the week 2 weeks in a row. I still think he should stay one more year but that's it. He has too much talent and skill to be here longer.

 

[Stainmaster]

Hamilton's struggles this year have been the pace of the college game. He is one of the most skilled and athletic players to wear this uniform, but his game is peppered with small mistakes that are the hallmark of someone adjusting to the gap between the pace of a high school game and a college game. That gap between college and the pros is infinitely larger, and it's why he will not be heading to the NBA after this year. Once he has more time (a sophomore season) to adjust and consistently play mistake-free basketball, NBA teams will see that he's ready and he will be rewarded for taking the extra time.
