"good midrange game, athletic, long, classic overachiever 6-7 jumping jack? Yes !!!!!!
Those three have zero chance at the first round, they aren't even on any second round mocks. The only chance of one of them leaving is Rodney to start his career in Europe.Since this is the current topic of discussion, I want to go on record that I think one of Brimah, Hamilton or Purvis will declare (prematurely) this off season and leave for the pros. I hope not, but that's my gut feeling. This year's draft is pretty weak outside the top 10 so lots of guys may sneak into the first round that normally wouldn't. It's hard to turn down the allure of the guarenteed millions that come with the first round.
Believe me, I agree with you. Absolutely none of them are first round NBA players, yet that doesn't mean one of them isn't enticed into this year's weak draft by a GM who wants to keep all his options open and giving false promises to multiple guys.Those three have zero chance at the first round, they aren't even on any second round mocks.

Has Hamidou said anything about potentially playing with Alpha? Family members don't always end up playing together, and some might seek out a place where they can start fresh. Obviously Hamilton isn't at any of the schools his brothers went to.
Chill, those are two of my favorite huskies, and two of the three guys keeping UConn's NBA footprint alive right now.
If DHam leaves, I'll lump him in with Rudy Gay and Andre Drummond as my least impactful all-time Huskies.
What the...
Both DHam and Brimah are doing exactly as expected. This is a surprise to no one. As for Purvis, if he decides to pursue a pro career I certainly wouldn't characterize it as premature.Believe me, I agree with you.

While he is keeping UConn's NBA footprint alive, I must say Drummond was definitely one of the least impactful huskies. He came in with huge expectations, was OK at best, then scored 2 points before fouling out in his 1 tourney game. Bust in college yet doing great in the league.
Nah I'm good, I watched the games and saw the bricks. Its nice that DHam can contribute in other areas when the shots aren't falling(which is often), but 12ppg on 38% from the field ain't cutting it.
By "impactful", I don't mean individual accomplishments. He never took over games. Amazing athleticism but he seemed reluctant to take over games.Hahah. First time I've ever heard a 2nd team AA be categorized as 'least impactful'.
Throw in 1st team BE and BE ROY and what do I know?

I would say that AB has VASTLY exceeded expectations so far. His growth is off the charts for how long he's played the game.

Yes, we know he's not a "real Husky" in your book.
Listen, he seems like a great kid and all. I'm really happy he's killing it in the NBA but he just flat out wasn't good at UConn. This is a guy who some were saying should be ranked #1 in high school over ANTHONY DAVIS.

Dude he averaged 10 and 7 as a freshman. Dakari Johnson was ranked around where Drummond was in 2014 and averaged 5 and 3 as a freshman. Your idea of a "bust" is so off.Listen, he seems like a great kid and all. I'm really happy he's killing it in the NBA but he just flat out wasn't good at UConn.
