Hawkins declares for NBA Draft

[brihman]

No brainer move and good for him. Been a pleasure to watch his growth the last two years. I hope he kills it in the NBA.

I agree his development has been a delight to watch. He’s been a great Husky. Wish him the very best

Thanks for representing our University and Gaithersburg so well. Go make some killa dough. Earned. Congrats!

Calamari has the same number of titles in 2 years as Calipari has in 31 years.

Classy kid and absolute sniper. His defense and confidence are unrecognizable now compared to when he walked on campus.
He’s built like a guy who’s going to have a long and successful NBA career. Not just physically, but character and desire.

I just want my Celtics to get him somehow if Jaylen Brown isn’t around for the long haul.

Thanks Hawk, you gave us more than the fans could ever ask for.

And now you’re a success story for Hurley to pitch to the upcoming line of Husky shooting guards.

Goodman would come up with that line if he wasn't such a tool, I could still see him tweeting it because he's such a tool.

We might have 2 lotto picks next season if things go the way I think they will with Castle and Clingan

Not trying to spam, pumped for Hawkins.

Great player and great person - selfishly I hope he ends up on the Bucks!

Congrats Jordan! You deserve it!

Id say he could buy it off me. But I don't think he's got the scratch.

Congrats Jordan!!

Need to build up the UConn alumni NBA stable again. Let's hope Hawk has a lot of Huskies to keep him company in the next few years.

this has Andre at #29 to Indiana

It also has Timme 2 spots in front of Sanogo.

 

[KembaMan15]

So happy for him and proud of him!

 

[superjohn]

10 lbs of muscle and tightening up his handles and finishing some more and he'll be a major problem. There hasn't been anyone in the NBA who constantly sprints and comes off screens that hard the entire game since Rip and Reggie Miller retired and to a lesser extent Ray.

It also has Timme 2 spots in front of Sanogo.

I cant really get upset at that.

And I adore Adama. Timme had an incredible college career as has (it might not be done yet) Adama. Timme has some skills. Just because we whooped him in a single game doesn't devalue an incredible college career.

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

The great thing is that it truly goes both ways. Hurley’s players would all run through a wall for him as well. Total commitment to excellence across the board among players and staff alike. This is why I believe that this program is set up for future success.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Completely expected and deserved after this Tournament run. His buzz and stock were never going to be higher.

Hopefully he's a good representative of the program in the League.

Sad to see him gone but I told everyone at the beginning of the year to enjoy him while he is here as he is gone. Thanks Hawkins for bring us a championship. You have such a beautiful fast release on your shot reminiscent of another UCONN Great, Ray Allen. I'm so happy to see in person play as you were such a treat and thanks again for helping UCONN bring home their 5th National Championship. You will be missed!!!

I know people said he doesn't create enough but he did show it during the regular season at times this part of his game and will flourish well in the NBA with their more open rules for the offensive player. He has the athleticism to improve that part of his game.

Future 3 point competition champ

 

[Tenspro2002]

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!

I was going to say this if no one else did.

SDSU were going on a run like they did in their previous game and threatening to turn our magical Tournament into a missed opportunity, and Hawkins snuffed it out with an unbelievably clutch 3 that we really needed to have in that moment.
