Keep Your Eye On Jordan Hamilton

One if the top recruits at his position in the country last season, Jordan Hamilton enrolled at Texas billed as a natural scorer with a good jump shot. While he’s certainly shown the ability to light up the scoreboard, his freshman campaign has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride.

After scoring a career high 27 points on 11-16 from the field in merely 19 minutes against Oklahoma State a little over a week ago, Hamilton came up with just 8 points in a 3-15 effort in a loss at Oklahoma a few days later. His play in that stretch was a microcosm of the season he’s had, and while he’s shown some major flaws in his game, Hamilton’s merits as a scorer certainly have the attention of NBA decision-makers
