Jordan Hamilton ...

Hes a shooter and he should be looking to jack it.

If he really bogs us down he can sit for a bit but I think this guy is going to have some electric games. This guy has a great stroke and he just needs to pull the trigger in rhythm.

Man this team is a scary scary machine. Just pounded two top ten teams and doesnt look like they were breathing that hard.

OK, he didn't make his first 4, but he did go 4-6 from 3 point land. I'll keep singing his praises.

The guy is a shooter, let him shoot.

You can see his game bubbling just under the surface. Once he gets all the various inputs sorted out, he's going to wreck ****. I like that he keeps working hard even though he and everyone else knows he's struggling.

His 3-point shot is beautiful. Incredible arc on that sucker.

Read thru the posts, they go back a month. My take: I have no problem with him shooting the 3, which he has shown he has done pretty well. Other than 3s I think he has taken many ill-advised shots and has not improved on shot (other than 3 pt shots) selection. I think he will but his decision making has lagged behind Bradley and jCovan.

The guy sat out a year. He has a lot of pride obviously and is pressing. But, like J'Covan, when his experience level regains it's balance with his talent, then he will be a huge weapon for us. It may be that Barnes' insistence that eveyone play tough defense is causing him to think too much. My hope and hunch is that if he steps up like he is capable, it may be that he will be the final piece to matching up with Kansas.

There are a lot of people not posting about this now, hmmm, I wonder why. But I bet they were cheering and cheering like nothing every happened and their posts never existed.

Kudos to the good fans with foresight to realize he is young and will work through adversity with the help of the coaches. Let the young man fire away!

This post is ridiculous. Every year people get on here and complain about Barnes not letting guys have the confidence to go play their game. Now that he is letting them play a little you ***** about one of the most talented freshmen we have ever signed taking bad shots. Wow! The guy can play, he's one of the best shooters on the team, and he's making big shots. Shut up and enjoy him while he's here.

Hamilton played 11 minutes vs Gardner Webb and took zero shots?

The last couple posts are comical ... "good fans", "where is everyone now".

I stand by my observation. When Jordan lets the game come to him, he is lights out ... he is struggling mightily with anything off the dribble.

I will say this, if you find #23 behind the arc and get him the ball in rhythm, it's going in.
