There were five UConn players on NBA rosters to start the 2017-2018 season: Kemba Walker, Jeremy Lamb, Andre Drummond, Rudy Gay, and Shabazz Napier. On Wednesday night, a sixth joined them. One night after posting a triple-double for the G-League’s OKC Blue, Daniel Hamilton made his NBA debut for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With 3:37 left in the fourth quarter of the Thunder’s 92-79 win over the Chicago Bulls, the Huskies’ former do-everything wing Daniel Hamilton checked into the game.
