Hands averaged 9.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game as a part-time starter whose production dipped toward the end of the season, partially as the result of a sprained ankle suffered in practice the week before the Bruins' final regular-season game.
Hands did not reach double figures in scoring in any of the last eight games he played and finished the season making only 40.5% of his shots and 37.4% of his three-pointers.
Hands also enjoyed a flair for the flashy play, dunking over coach Steve Alford's head during a preseason showcase at Venice Beach and making what SportsCenter's Twitter account dubbed "ASSIST OF THE YEAR" when he jumped into the air and shuffled the ball between his legs before throwing an alley-oop pass to Kris Wilkes against Stanford in January.
