Kevin Ollie advised Hamilton against leaving, but now that the decision is made UConn's head coach is 100% behind his former star player.
When news broke that Daniel Hamilton will be signing with an agent, it sent an uproar through the UConn fanbase, with many proclaiming he wasn't ready for the pros. Though Hamilton has demonstrated a diverse skill set and solid playmaking ability, the belief was that one more year would really solidify his status as a top prospect.
The UConn Blog's stance was slightly more positive. Even when Hamilton's draft status was at "testing the waters," I said to not be surprised if he signed with an agent because Daniel has great potential and NBA scouts don't necessarily need a complete collegiate body of work to fall in love with a prospect.
