Yes!
This is cool news but Hilton was properly rated while he was here.One of the most underrated Huskies of all time. Worked his butt off for three years before having a huge senior season and getting picked in the lottery.
Yes!
And not at all since leaving. His relatively short NBA stint and lack of minutes in the league have diminished many fans' perception of how good he was in his senior year here, averaging almost 10 points, 7 boards and 3+ blocks in 27 minutes a game to earn BE DPoY honors.This is cool news but Hilton was properly rated while he was here.
By Husky fans probably, but I think in terms of general public Hilton wasn't a highly regarded college player. But he got a look from & some burn in the NBA so maybe properly rated there. I dunno that there's a need to dig trenches on either side of the molehill* of Hilton's rating as a Husky.This is cool news but Hilton was properly rated while he was here.
And Calhoun was not very easy on Hilton his 1st three years. Could have easily transferred during that time.And not at all since leaving.

Remember, this is a guy who didn't think he could make a D1 roster coming out of HS, and Elton Brand convinced him he had the tools, he just needed to sharpen them and work on endurance and strength.

Congratulations Hilton!
