Hawkins declares for NBA Draft

[LetsGoUC]

Thanks Legend!!! He's gonna be a GREAT pro - book it

 

[KingAG]

No! Knicks!

Selfishly. But he wouldn’t play unless we swing a trade for a star and lose grimes

 

[gsmooth]

I still don’t get why all mocks have Gradey Dick higher than Hawkins. Other than height, Hawkins is a better shooter/tougher shot maker, more athletic, a better defender, and has a much higher ceiling.

I am not sure either. Gradey Dick is a good player, but Hawk has definitely shown he can produce on a higher level that Gradey Dick has not shown yet.

Doubt he would be there with the Warriors pick and with the way they miscalculated their roster this past offseason they probably don't want another kid on a rookie contract again. That would be the perfect landing spot for him though system wise.

Congrats Hawk!

Selfishly. But he wouldn’t play unless we swing a trade for a star and lose grimes

Like Lamb

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.

I watched him at Dematha a dozen times during that Covid season and you could tell he was totally focused on building an NBA skillset. Knew his ticket to the league was as a shooter and defender, and had laser-focused his skill development on building that.

And bringing a Castle here…

Congrats to Hawk! Nice guy when I met him after the FL game. He’ll be a great ambassador for our program. Tons of natural ability, but also seems to be a grinder, evident by his year 1->2 jump.

Thanks for the memories

 

[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

 

[uchusky32]

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.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

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.

 

[KingAG]

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!

 

[JakeTheDog]

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.
