And the quality of shots that he takes is really high, I think it’s 85% of his shots are classified as ‘high value’ – he doesn’t take bad ones,” Bilas said. “Maybe because they wore the same uniform in college, he does remind you a little bit – it’s not a perfect comparison – but he conjures up images of Ray Allen with the way he shoots and he moves well without the ball. Hawkins put on a show during the NCAA Tournament run, shooting the three at a 50% clip (21-for-42 over six games). He upped his percentage from beyond the arc from 33.3% as a freshman to 38.8% last season, while finishing second on the team in scoring at 16.2 points per game. Hawkins made nearly three 3-pointers per game during the 2022-23 national championship season. “I think he’s perhaps the best prospect right now that UConn team because of his shooting,” Bilas said. The Gaithersburg, Maryland, native has one of the best shooting strokes in the draft, and could find a perfect fit in a league that greatly values shooting ability. A sophomore guard, Hawkins’ greatest skill is well-documented.
