VermontDDS • 01/09/26 08:21 PM ET
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

That is really interesting. He does seem to play to get fouled rather than
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"

I think people understand that. What they have a hard time with

There's not a world where this basketball team is better off without him**
GCHokie34 • 01/09/26 07:25 PM ET
Hopefully no one said that, but Hammond is your PG not Neo. Mike made a
VTMONEY94 • 01/09/26 07:37 PM ET
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

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

Glen Allen Hokie • 01/10/26 03:16 PM ET
Because he wouldn’t be here otherwise. He’s still a net positive **
Lancelot Link • 01/09/26 07:16 PM ET
Exactly. Totally fine for him to work on that while at VT...
Gobbler Guru • 01/09/26 05:29 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
