The dust has settled on a great Uconn shooting guard battle. Ben Gordon and Richard Hamilton did Uconn proud. Though their style differs, Hamilton pops shots around double screens and Gordon breaks down a defender one on one, they still have great strokes.
For Uconn fans this is a dream match-up. This series showcased two of the elite gaurds that ever came out of Uconn and bragging rights to the claim of the best two gaurd of the championship classes.
During the postseason Ben scored 20.3 points a game at a .419 field goal average and Hamilton shot 19.5 a game at a .429 average.
Gordon still needs to be more consistent with his shots and find that 'go to' move. The Mask is a man of routine, as demonstrated by his foul shooting. He bounces the ball twice and than once to the side before shooting and he is excellent at it. He goes through his shots the same way by running set plays where he knows where his shot will be.
Now that The Mask defeated the Young Bull, Hamilton holds the title of best shooting guard to ever come out of Storrs.
