WTF has happened to Hamilton?

[UDann]

He doesn't even look like a D1 player the last two games, it's cringeworthy.

Its January maybe he has bit of the flu but keeping it to himself. Looks way out of sorts.

I think, as usual, Chief nailed it: it was definitely his flight delay at Christmas. Makes perfect sense. My flight was delayed a couple hours and I'm still rattled a couple weeks later.

Haven't really had a game yet where 3 of Gibbs, Purvis, Hamilton and Miller showed up to play. I know we're basically half way so maybe if it was going to happen it would've happened already, but this team will be scary in March if they're all on the same page and playing up to their abilities.

Let me get this straight. You are calling dham overrated due to his last 3 games? How about his body of work which has been great. Some posters find it too easy to dump on our best players when they are down. Give him time to adjust and learn to assist players not named AB and not force shots. He played great in the Texas game but has fallen into a funk. I think he still has the talent to become our alpha dog.

How many games will it take for you? If he's not back to his regular ways against Tulsa then I don't want to hear it anymore. Like what CTBasketball has said here, "When you lack a killer instinct you panic in pressure situations." He does not have that killer instinct quite yet, nor do I see it fully panning out by the end of the year. Stay one more year, be consistent, and then enter the draft.

He's en fuego compared to when Bazz went into a funk his sophomore year.

I don't think a slump should lead people to conclude that someone has a character flaw as a basketball player.
