Congrats Jordan Hawkins!

[Kitaman]

Scary that it feels like I've seen him play better or feel his best game is still out there. He bleeds UConn folks, he said it last night!

Hawkins is so pure, every shot I see him take I think he can and should make. And when he misses a few I get disappointed and feel like he should have hit more shots.
Then I look at the box score and see he lead the team in scoring, 6-10 from 3.

He's just such a good shooter that you unfairly expect him to hit them all. He's a walking bucket. Hope it continues in Houston.

Love Hawk, but anyone who didnt vote for Adama was just plain wrong.

Has anyone ever seen a player have a major miss on a jam but make a 3? On the same possession?

Saw one just last night

Jordan is such a pro, he’s literally just constantly sprinting around actions all possession until he gets a sliver of an opening then pulls the trigger and still shoots at a good percentage. He’s going to be playing basketball for a long long time

The Most Outstanding Moment (MOM) of the West Regional was the post-game interview with Adama after the St. Mary’s game. It’s not even close.

My vote would have gone to Andre.

West Region stats for all the key guys are below. Seems like the voters had some recency bias as Hawkins' box scores improved over time while Sanogo's "declined" (declined in quotations there because Sanogo was DOMINANT). Couldn't go wrong with either, especially considering Hawkins' explosions in the S16 and E8

• Jordan Hawkins: 17.3 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 1.3 APG shooting 42.2% FG, 51.6% 3P, 93.8% FT (15-16)
• Adama Sanogo: 20.0 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.3 BPG shooting 65.5% FG, 72.7% FT
• Andre Jackson: 7.8 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 7.8 APG, 1.0 SPG shooting 48.3% FG, 30.0% 3P
• Tristen Newton: 7.8 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 4.8 APG shooting 36.0% FG, 41.7% 3P, 80.0% FT
• Alex Karaban: 8.0 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.3 APG shooting 54.2% FG, 38.5% 3P, 100% FT (1-1 lol)
• Nahiem Alleyne: 7.3 PPG, 0.5 RPG, 0.8 APG shooting 47.1% FG, 54.5% 3P, 100% FT (7-7)
• Joey Calcaterra: 6.0 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.5 APG shooting 33.3% FG, 40.0% 3P, 100% FT (4-4)
• Donovan Clingan: 6.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 2.3 BPG shooting 70.6% FG, 50% FT

Team stats: 81.8 PPG, 49.6% FG, 41.8% 3P, 82.1% FT (14.0 FTA)
68% of FGM are assisted. Wow.

Opponents stats: 59.3 PPG, 35.4% FG, 27.3% 3P, 67.9% FT (21.0 FTA)

I’m sorry but Andre’s stat line is insane

Jordan Hawkins is my main man.
I knew 4 years ago he was destined for big things. The best is yet to come.
Congrats and justly deserved.
