Hawkins declares for NBA Draft

[CL82]

Over/under how many posts until someone says he needed to come back for “X” reason?

Different kid. Personally, I’d like to see him stay and get a years more strength and conditioning, but he’s ready.

Oh, it’s always so good to see these kids get to live their dream. I wish him the absolute best.

Clutch shooter. Hit so many big shots.

THANKS HAWK!

Thank you Hawk. Go get that lottery ticket and have a long, successful career.

And come back to visit to inspire the next generation!

I firmly believe an NBA team's staff has the capability to get him some strength and conditioning

 

[Hey Adrien!]

So proud of him!

His ability to shoot so efficiently off transition is insanely good and his #1 NBA trait, but he's got scorer mentality and defensive versatility that will continue to grow as he ages and gets stronger.

Easy decision. If you are a player, and you will get 1st round guaranteed money, you got to go.

Good luck Hawkins. I hope you end up on the Warriors.

This was expected and good for him, he deserves nothing but praise from the fan base.

I hope he lands in a good situation after the draft.

He is second to none. He loves these kids and would run through a wall for them. This doesn't go unnoticed.

Anywhere but Charlotte.

Four star recruit, #51 in his class- he trusted UConn and this staff to develop his talents, and everybody won. Thanks, Hawk! Going out a champion, now go get paid!

Also, thanks for all that tape that’s left behind to show to future recruits about how they’ll fit in and excel.

Tankathon has him going 16 to the Lakers

That’s the highest I’ve seen as everywhere else has him in the 16-24 range. Think if he works out well he’ll shoot up the boards like Bouknight did.

Edited my post- if Golden State is actually picking 19th, that's definitely possible.

This is big time. How often do we see this l. This is more than a tweet

 

[djct1999]

People will remember the total dominace when thinking back on this teams championship run. To me, the first thing that comes to mind will always be the Hawkins 3 with 5 minutes to go. That shot, an incredibly difficult one, sealed the title. Congrats Hawk and thanks for the memories!

He should come back next season because I selfishly want to keep seeing him in a Huskies uniform again

He'll make UConn fans proud at the next level. Congrats to Jordan and well deserved.

Good for Hawk. As a Husky fan I am so proud of the way he has developed his game. He has earned and deserved this opportunity to cash in. This news most likely means Hurley and the coaching staff have gotten positive feedback that Hawk will be chosen in the first round and which means he gets that guaranteed contract. Within that context, I am glad Hawk is leaving for the NBA.

Go get your money, Hawk I wish nothing but the best for you and your family.

Congrats to Hawk. I just hope he ends up in a good situation/team. For God's sake, dont take him Charlotte!

Selfishly I hope he ends up on the Warriors. They need a stone-cold shooter to help Curry out. Also, it is a good organization with a winning culture. He will be under no pressure during the early years of his career to perform.

After a 5 year drought, this is now the 3rd year in a row a Husky will be drafted to the NBA. Let's get this pipeline goin' again! Could it be our first time having two players drafted since 2014???

I will certainly miss having a SG that legitimately any time he shot the ball I had full faith it was going in. The definition of a sniper. Best of luck, Jordan!

He will be a lottery pick. I can find the post but I predicted by the end of the tournament everyone would know who the best shooting guard in college was. He earned himself a shot at being a lottery pick. I think he can be in the Booker category once he fills out. Congrats to him…

 

[YearoftheHusky]

This kid gave us so many memories, but that off balance three in the final when SDSU has just cut it to six is something I will always remember him for. He completely killed their momentum and I knew then we had a thumb ring.

Dallas isn’t a bad fit either. He’d feast off of luka
