Hami's windmill dunk against Angola.

[BigBlueFanGA]

I posted it in the Angola thread but it deserves one of its own. A steal on one end and a windmill dunk on the other. He's going to be fun to watch.

[TrustinCal]

Left handed too. Wow.

 

[BassProCat]

Lol are those 10 ft rims? Made that look easy!

 

[78Gooses]

Thanks, op. I was just telling a buddy of mine Saturday about him and how many shots he'll block on the perimeter. May save a game like AD against UNC.

 

[thebluestripes]

Glad we have him and not the nba

 

[Deli owl]

Get back on D young fella

 

[letitrainuk]

Haha and the Terrance Jones stare down at the end.

 

[WildMoon]

I would say that block is more insane. Crazy monster.

I would say that block is more insane. Crazy monster.

Me too bc the dunk just looks so easy for him. he's incredibly gifted

 

[Sparkaces1]

The only other right handed person I have seen Dunk left handed like that is Wall. Just awesome!

 

[ArkansasCatsFan]

Higgins would have called a foul on the steal......

 

[BostonCat2001]

so its ok to cheer for the kid now...i mean he used us.

Hami is going to cement his lottery pick status by being an incredible defender. Long arms and incredibly quick hands.

There was one sequence where he poked the ball out from behind, US player picks up the ball and they come down and miss the shot. Angola gets ball and heads back down the court and Hami pokes the ball out again in exact same way. US gets Ball and scores this time. Angola coach calls timeout and rips into his guard.

Bet Cal was pissed he didn't get back on D.

 

[GoCatsForever2k15]

He is slightly athletic.

This was my exact thought. When you are up by a few touchdowns it isn't the end of the world but when the games are close I'd like to see him showboat on the dunk, not after, then get back as fast as possible...

 

[MWes11]

Loved the block more than the dunk, especially with it being from the help side. Extremely impressive. Has all the physical tools to lock down the 1-3 positions on the defensive end.

 

[caneintally]

Yeah the block was what impressed me . Cal will love that .

 

[Wall2Boogie]

I love the fact that he came back but I wonder what the deciding factor was? The nets were going to give him a first round guarantee. Guaranteed multi millionaire right now and playing for your home state would have to be so hard to turn down. I understand he will be a top ten pick after this yr but still it would be hard for me to return if I've been given a first round guarantee by my home states team. Anyone know what his deciding favor was?

His deciding factor was pretty much what you said. He will improve and should be a lottery pick. Plus, going to play for the Nets isn't very appealing even though it is his home state. He did what Cal told him to do as far as getting all the feedback you can and then making an educated decision. Happier than hell with that decision if I say so myself.

It's like some of us said, he's using us for the lottery. Kid cares about nothing but money. I personally like guys like Wall, all about the children.

How you been? Diallo is going to be a major player for the cats this season.

I love the steal more than the dunk.

 

[kev69]

I guess I'm different, but dunks really don't mean much more to me than a 10 foot made jump shot.

anyone can make a 10 foot jump shot.

Much less people can throw down a windmill dunk.

 

[Catsgloves1]

Bet Cal was pissed he didn't get back on D.

Sure hope so.

 

[Catsgloves1]

Unfortunately, he wasn't last yr.

Agree, but you know what? They both still count for two points.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Who are you, Eeyore?

 

[FFWhite]

Expect to see one or more of those highlight real plays per game from him.

Last year we had players that couldn't make layups consistently in a game.
A dunk and a 10 foot shot is still 2 points.

That's not the point of the op.

A full court heave gets you the same amount of points as a jump shot from an inch behind the arc. Obviously one is more entertaining to see video of.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Lots of discounting the energy a big dunk gives a team and at the same time takes energy away from the opposing team. The points may be the same as a 10ft jump shot, the effect it has on the game is radically different. That effect is multiplied when you steal the ball on one end and pull off a circus dunk on the other. One can shoot two free throws for the same points but no one will equate that to a big dunk. Energy is important.
