Interesting Stat look at High Volume 3 shooters. Jordan is kinda quietly putting up some nice numbers for the exact thing we need him for.






41.5 at High Volume isn't too shabby at all, one of the better numbers in the NCAA, and a little surprising to me because by eye test and game feel, I've felt that Jordan hasn't even gone on one of his patented hot streaks yet. When he does, holy moly, look out.

Kid is having a real nice season to this point and we are just scratching the surface.
 
Jordan is so much more than a 3-point shooter. As his all around offense takes shape he should be unstoppable.

Brandon Miller is shooting 3’s at a 44% clip?! Damn. That dude is going to be a stud at the next level. Lock Top 5 pick, maybe #3 behind Wemby and Scoot.

He doesn't need a hot streak, he's been consistently very good. So not relying on a hot street to prop up his numbers.

Yes. I love the consistency, he doesn’t need it, but he has it, and it’s coming.

Him and Joey C are the only players that no matter what shot they take, I can't be upset. They can shoot contested 28 footers and I'd want them to take the same exact shot next time

Part of the beauty of this team is that they’re not. This team is so much better at getting good looks and not settling for bad ones than prior years. Really hard to remember too many head scratchers (outside of a few Andre step back deep threes).

Someone posted a stat on twitter last week that Hawkins is shooting 60%+ coming off of screens for catch-and-shooting. Incredible #.

That alone will get him a first round pick. NBA pays a premium for this kind of shooting. There's only so many Tatum's or Luka's. He is the perfect complement to an elite wing.

He's also got great defense and height/length. Put on 10lbs and you have a prototype 3 and D wing.
 
Our hot start helped Hawkins more than anyone. Took a lot of preseason pressure off his shoulders.

I’ve heard that his height has been a little concerning for some nba scouts. I think he has around a 6’10” wingspan so that should help offset that

Props to you, but it's easy to see when a guy is dripping in upside. I got legit excited after seeing a handful of Hawkins' jumpshots in high school. He has the it factor and easily passes the eye test. The best way I can describe it, is that his shot is "true".

I love that he takes pride in his D, and is starting to go to the hole more, but that jumpshot has stood out for years. Love seeing him keep working hard to get better. Seems like a great kid.

If he's really 6'5 I wouldn't see why. His thin frame would be my concern, followed by handles and passing.

Nah, has come with @Ricker 's passion and consistency to get credit for calling it!

Need to include, height, weight, projected UConn and NBA production, family background, favorite food and grade school transcripts to be complete...

You are probably watching closer than me but I’ve actually been impressed by his passing this year relative to expectation. Not that it’s a strength, but he’s made a couple of slick, heady passes that I can remember
 
His shot is very much like Ray Allen shot. Release looks similar. To me he looks bigger than Allen who I watched in high school in Dalziel, SC. I actually think he goes to the basket better than Allen did in his So year.

I assume a good athlete with the hand eye coordination to be a good shooter would be able to develop their handle if they made it a priority. Seems like he’s put in the effort so don’t see why it wouldn’t continue to improve?

Idk about that but it might be less problematic in the nba with a bigger, more spread out court. See Rudy Gay

So it's not his height for you, it's three other things. Check.
 
Craziest thing is Hawk has two games this season when he played less than 10 minutes and didn't hit a single 3 (injury vs. Stonehill and fouls vs. Iowa State). In his 9 full games, he's at 8.44 3-point attempts and 3.78 3-pointers made per game.
