There's not a shadow of doubt Hammond is a better PG on 1/9/26

There is also not a shadow of doubt Avdalas is a way better player overall that changes the game in ways Hammond couldnt possibly MY is tasked with figuring out how to utilize both of their strengths while honoring the commitments (to both) that got them on the roster in the first place

Appreciate the compliment but it just comes with experience
GCHokie34 • 01/09/26 08:30 PM ET
Coach Boeheim sure thought he had good skills- made several comments

RhinoVT • 01/10/26 08:59 AM ET
Yep he’s the focal point of opponents’ game plans and the “growth” you are
hokiepro • 01/10/26 08:10 AM ET
in the stanford game he drove on smaller defenders and shot over them
VermontDDS • 01/09/26 11:48 PM ET
I think youre spot on with your assessment of him seeking the "moment"

There's not a world where this basketball team is better off without him**

There's not a shadow of doubt Hammond is a better PG on 1/9/26 ◄
GCHokie34 • 01/09/26 07:48 PM ET
Bingo!**

I get that GC but some players are just better “college” players and
VTMONEY94 • 01/09/26 07:54 PM ET
Im sure he did...
GCHokie34 • 01/09/26 08:14 PM ET
Is this the first time that he's the best player on his team?
Hoke • 01/10/26 11:41 AM ET
Im sure its the first time in a while
GCHokie34 • 01/10/26 11:46 AM ET

TJ is such a glue guy. we sorely miss him.**
Glen Allen Hokie • 01/10/26 03:16 PM ET

Lancelot Link • 01/09/26 07:16 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 01/09/26 07:48 PM ET
Part of that is because of how teams play him vs. others.
David CunninghamAdmin • 01/09/26 04:59 PM ET
Of course.
Vippie1 • 01/09/26 06:59 PM ET
VT made Stanford pay for 38 minutes...**
GCHokie34 • 01/09/26 07:25 PM ET
If Neo would square up, defense would have to back up a step
