UConn G/F #5 Daniel Hamilton puts up a shot as #12 Kentan Facey provides a screen against Assumption College at the XL Center in Hartford, CT on November 9, 2014
The UConn Huskies men’s basketball team gets underway tonight at 7 p.m. at Gampel Pavilion against the Bryant Bulldogs and there will be a few new faces for the defending National Champions.
Freshman Daniel Hamilton is one of those faces.
Hamilton has shown a complete all-around game so far during the first two exhibition games. He averaged eight points, 10.5 rebounds and five assists during the wins over Southern Connecticut and Assumption College.
He can dribble, pass, shoot and play defense. He also brings energy to the team when he’s out on the court.
He could also change the way the Huskies bring the ball up as he has the skills of a point guard despite his 6′ 7″ frame.
Watch below as head coach Kevin Ollie, Ryan Boatright, Sam Cassell Jr. and Hamilton talk about his game.
You can catch the UConn men on SNY tonight or ESPN3 outside of the SNY market. You can also listen to the game on the UConn IMG Sports Radio Network.
