UCONN in the NBA - January '24

[Phoenixhusky]

Hawkins with 28 so far.

 

[Karmacop]

Hawkins finishes 34/5/4 to lead all scorers.

 

[husky429]

24 points mid-way through the 3rd against one of the best teams in the league. It's coaching malpractice this kid was sent to the g-league.

34/5/4... 11/19 from the field, 6/12 from 3. 2 steals too.

10/10/2 for Andre on 5/8.

Excited to watch these guys careers.

Andre with 10-10-2 in 28 mins !

 

[Poe]

No Zion, no Ingram, no McCollum and Hawkins leads the Pels to the win over the Doncic-less Mavs, pretty awesome

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Highlights!

 

[SouleMan]

That shot is deadly

(Very happy for Jordan, not trying to ruin the moment). But the Warriors do actually stink now, sadly enough. New era coming!

Pels were playing the Mavs. Andre played the Warriors.

Sounds like a G League player to me. Smh

He was playing Dallas

Wow. Pelicans were missing 3 starters and Hawkins dropped 34 to carry them to a double digit win. 58% shooting too

Fantastic game for Andre as well. 6 offensive rebounds out of his 10 total. That’s how you keep getting minutes

Andre looks great out there.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Andre looks great out there.

Still out there making passes no one else can make while being the most athletic on the floor.

“No matter what time we get in, so long as there’s a basketball on the court, we’re gonna hoop,” said Hawkins, the 14th overall draft pick last summer from UConn. “I had a good opportunity to play, so I had to take it.”

I’m so happy for this guy.

 

[REB1094]

Pelicans played the Mavs again, but the Mavs won 125-120 this time. Hawkins 20 minutes off the bench, 9 points on good shooting (3-4 FG, 1-2 3P)

Kyrie had 42 points and Tim Hardaway Jr had 41 for Dallas. Whoa.

 

[REB1094]

Also - Sanogo has been back in the G League after spending some time with the main roster

Jan 5 - 23pts, 12reb, 47% FG. Colby Jones played in this game and had 13/11. Jeremy Lamb played too... ??
Jan 6 - 22pts/9reb, 71% FG. Lamb had 15 in this one
Jan 11 - 32pts/15reb, 75% FG
Jan 13 - 23pts/9reb, 73% FG. Jarron Cumberland (LOL) was in this one, 8pts/5ast/4reb
Today - 32pts/17reb, 64% FG

Apparently in the G League there's a "showcase cup" and then the regular season. In 16 showcase cup games, he averaged 18/11. In 5 regular season games, he's averaging 26/12. Wow wow wow

The league expansion should be great for guys like Adama. He’s too good to not be someone’s backup center in the league.

 

[aceboon]

To already have this skillset at 21 is pretty crazy, next step in the development will be the handles

 

[REB1094]

For what it’s worth - despite having his minutes cut throughout most of December, Hawkins is still leading all rookies in total 3PM with 76. Chet is #2 with 65

Season averages up to 10.4 PPG on 40.6% FG and 38.0% 3P

 

[HuskyHawk]

Coming to the Dumpster Fire soon perhaps @superjohn
