he looks the part and is getting better and more confident by the game. Fun to watch
Dom uhl= young Carmelo Anthony
- Thread starter HawkNAZTY20
- Start date
As in like a 15 year old Carmelo perhaps? Love Dom's progression this year but no. Carmelo averaged 22/10 and led his team to a national title as a freshman. Uhl's a good sixth man.
I was in NY during Melo's days. Melo was a much better player his year at Syracuse. Have to agree that Uhl has been maybe the most impressive Hawk with his development. Going to be a very interesting year.
Uhl plays defense, passes the ball, passes up shots...I don't get the connection, at all....
Lol the guy gets rows and a head band and all of a sudden he's Melo. I think Woodbury should dye his hair all different colors. He could be the next Rodman!
He's due for some major regression from 3, but even if he settles in at 37% or so from 3, that's more than effective enough to pull defenders away from the basket.

Agree, he's not going to continue shooting at this level, but if he can maintain a high 30's or 40% rate he will be a very good player. The bucket where he took the jump step was a thing of beauty.
Uhl is definitely coming on is gonna have a helluva jr and sr year. Could end up first team big 10.
Well, that's probably partly because he's also not one of the all time great scorers to ever play the game...just a guess.
Melo is a selfish player who has held back the teams he has played for with his selfishness. I could never cheer for a team he plays for.
A little over the top, but yes he may not be a guy who reall makes his teammates better, but he is an all time elite scorer, not someone Dom Uhl should be compared to.
I just said that the corn rows were the only thing they had in common. I pointed out some obvious differences. Completely different games.
If Dom works hard to improve and expand his game, like JU has done, Dom will have a long NBA career, imo. Its all on Dom to become a serious offensive force (take his game to a much higher level) on the court over the next 2 seasons.
Uthoff has the highest ceiling, and we are fortunate enough to be watching him perform at/around that ceiling while he's still at Iowa.
Uhl also has an extremely high ceiling, but I'm not sure he will ever be in contention for the Wooden Award.
Stockton, rodman and melo? This team just keeps getting better and better.
Of course mike would have to dye his hair black and uhl needs a mustache.
A fluid 6'9" that can handle the ball, shoot the 3, play defense, and take it to the hole - that's an envious combination of talents. Right now I think he much like Uthoff a couple years ago has to fight through tentativeness more than anything else.
As a basketball player, he is so very young - he just hasn't played a whole lot of basketball yet. I can't wait to see him his senior year, getting 30 minutes a game.

I get the comparison. On this board, everyone takes you literally, they can't process that comparing two players is not the same as equating them.
Fran has a nice system going on. Each year a new senior emerges as an all Big player, a junior is next in line and a sophomore steps up. That is happening again with Utoff, Jok and Uhl.
