Offensive Rating - Cam Spencer

No one is tougher on him than himself. Always the last guy in the gym, the last guy shooting in warmups, won't leave a spot until he makes it...and he grabs the game ball before the jump to feel it, test it. He's a bball junkie - and I'm here for it.
 
247Sports re-ranked the transfers again (think they do this monthly). Spencer is #4 behind Dickinson, Knecht and Love. I think someone said before that he was ranked around the 100th best transfer before the season started.

NO. 4: CAM SPENCER, SG — UCONN HUSKIES​

Stats: 14.9 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.5 SPG (49.3% FGs, 45.4% from three)

Team Record: 18-2, 8-1 Big East

No. 1 (AP Poll), No. 4 (NET), No. 3 (KenPom)

UConn is proving all doubters wrong, yet again. Dan Hurley and the Huskies are absolutely rolling right now and a big piece to this team's success has been due to the addition of Cam Spencer.

Spencer may not have the physical evaluators like size, length and athleticism, but he's proving why those things are being overvalued. While he looks like a YMCA legend, his toughness, IQ, confidence, skill and shot-making are making him an absolute star in Storrs.

UConn had a major void to fill after the departure of Jordan Hawkins and Spencer has done more than enough to fill it.

Probably the best, one year, high impact, addition we have had since Henefeld. Both players make their teammates better with their smart play. Henefeld is a UConn legend and Cam has a chance to be one as well.

I thought of Shonn Miller, but in terms of high impact on a powerhouse team… not so much.

Cam is currently etching his name in UConn lore.

Brando just said that Cam was a defensive specialist and Donny had to correct him lol

Tough game for him tonight from the field. Hopefully that means he has a great game against St. John's.

Miller kept us above water due to the roster we had along with Gibbs.

yea he was ranked 114th, which is nuts considering the production/efficiency he had in the Big 10 last year.
 
I knew this thread would doom Cam's offensive efficiency.
 
Who cares about the offensive efficiency crap
Cam had an off game - everyone does
The important thing to consider is that it is an anomaly vs a trend.

Congrats for what? His efficiency will drop. At least one of us contributed to this thread.

It will drop. Providence did a good job contesting his threes, and he didn't have a good night. And then his efficiency will go up or down depending on his next game.

Do you understand what means and standard deviations are?

Cam mid range jumper is a thing of beauty and the closest thing I can recall is Rip.

Along with his lethal 3 point shooting, and more devastating BBIQ, I’m really glad he is one of us.
Expand ...
The other Hamilton, I always thought was our best ever mid-range jump-shooter; Daniel Hamilton

Cam already is a UConn legend. He’s really been a tremendous player for us

What makes for a great program is how many remarkable kids roll through. So many special ones beyond those that land in the NBA.

we used to have a kevin olllie meme with his hair growing on fire. I wish we could do that with Cam signaling the out of towners to out of town.
 
We have a lot of integral pieces but none more important than Cam the way he plays.
 
“I think no matter where I am I always try to play with that chip on my shoulder,” Spencer told The Courant on Monday, five years later. “Like, I only had one Division I offer coming out of high school, nobody wanted me. So that’s kind of the mentality that I take into every practice and every day. It’s awesome to be at UConn and I love everything about it.”

How Cam Spencer has formed a ‘perfect marriage’ with UConn​

 

Best of the best​

Cam Spencer, UConn Huskies
Spencer was viewed as the missing piece when UConn landed him in the spring following his departure from Rutgers. He has met those expectations and more. He's averaging 15.5 points and 3.2 assists, while shooting better than 45% from 3. Spencer put up 20-plus in each of his past two games.

Grass isn't always greener​

Nicolas Timberlake, Kansas Jayhawks

After being one of the best players in the CAA the past three seasons, Timberlake transferred up to the Jayhawks. He had 13 points in the opener but has struggled for consistent minutes in the three months since, averaging 3.4 points in 10.7 minutes.
