We look better with dham at the 4. Dham looks way better at the four. Loved his all around effort tonight.There is no doubt that we are better with Hamilton at the 4, no clue why Ollie has been so reluctant to use it this year. Hamilton causes huge mismatches on offense and despite his size he's also arguably our best rebounder.
I definitely wouldn't say 20ppg but 14-16 isn't unfathomable.I notice a lot of Hamilton's shots are short off the front rim. Is he holding back? I know he likes to alley oop to Brimah, but when Brimah is not there he needs to let loose and let it go. He can easily get 20ppg if he loosens up, and take a lot of pressure off of Ryan. Maybe I am wrong, but it is what I see.
Especially when playing a zoneI wrote a while back that this team might benefit from a lineup of omar,dham,brimah,purv and boat. I think its worth a try as we have nothing to lose at this point.
I agree and lets put in either OC or RP at the starting SF position. Kelis Fisher is a bench player right now.The thing is DHam has to be willing to go after the offensive glass which he did yesterday and against Houston but he didnt do much previously. The problem if he doesnt is we will have 4 guys hanging around the 3 point line with just Brimah getting bullied downlow. If DHam wants to bang downlow and go after the offensive glass then I say lets start him there and sit Facey.
Facey to me is a role player on any other UConn team but because we have no quality bigs he has been forced into a starting pivotal role. Hes not ready yet.

Also, it makes starting TS easier as you still have 3 viable scoring options on the floor and AB. Like the OP said TS played very well last night and should be starting right now but we shouldn't have Kelis Fisher also in the starting lineup when he is on the floor due to lack of scoring.
He needs to hit the weight room with Brimah and Hamilton.The thing is DHam has to be willing to go after the offensive glass which he did yesterday and against Houston but he didnt do much previously.
