He is a great talent but gets blown by all the time, has more sloppy turnovers than any Husky I ever remember, yet he rarely sees the bench for all this lack of effort/boneheaded turnovers.
I was at the UCF game and it seemed like the only positive plays they had all night were blow bys of DHam and his turnovers jump starting their offense. In contrast, when Shonn Miller had a turnover, he was hot like fire and went and got the ball back or showed fire and then proceeded to get the next five rebounds.
I remember the Jimmy Johnson axiom about treating stars different but to me DHam, while probably most talented guy but nowhere in stratosphere of UConn greats and not that appreciably more talented (and certainly not better at this juncture) than Shonn.
This has bothered me all year, DHam could be great and we all want him to be but is so mentally defeated all the time. Is it KO has to walk on eggshells around him?
Agree with all the posts re Jalen, kid is an alpha dog, want more of him in there!
