Gibbs Great, Hamilton Terrible

[Huskybass]

Nadav is not 2nd to any forward in passing that I've seen as a matter of fact he's on the top tier alone for me. Saw things which others don't see, was not as flashy with ball getting into lanes but he was a brilliant anticipating passer as well os no look bounce passer.

Nadav averaged 2.9 assists. DHam is averaging 5.4 assists. I think you are misremembering. DHam has nearly as many assists through 13 games as Nadav had in 37.

Hamilton throws some pinpoint passes that amaze me. His half court pass on the break against Tulane was absolute precision. When he is on, I don't believe we ever had a passer as accurate as DHam.

Yeah, but Nadav had Chris Smith (~4 apg) and Tate George (~5 apg). He was also doing it from the power forward spot. The make up of that team was totally different.

UCONN basically has Hamilton playing point guard right now, because they have no other option. So he racks up apg. But from a pure passing talent perspective, Nadav was better. imo

He also has the ball in his hands a ton more than Nadav ever did. The question was who was the best passer not who threw the most passes. I assume you would mean they guy who threw the sweetest dimes but I may have been wrong. Whether he was leading the guard ahead of the court off the rebound or catching it at half court only to throw a no look bounce pass he was a great passer with great vision. Now overall I would have to say DHam is more than likely as good in creating a good pass, actually better so overall the more I think of it the 2 are th best and alone at the top.

If you include guards I thought this was swing guys - but agree if guards are included Marcus makes his own tier on top.

There is a 0% chance that, regardless of the makeup of the 89-90 team, that Nadav would ever have become a primary ballhandler. He was an outstanding passer for a PF, but Hamilton is the best passer we've had in years. No way was Nadav better.
