Hanlan's shot release reminds me of Curry's. Not saying they are the same player.
Just is a great benefit to have a quick release when your a good shooter and scorer.
I really hope they trade Trey so we just have Hanlan and Cotton.
Hurts me to say that as a Michigan fan and someone who has been wrong about Burke.

Super excited about this kid. Watching highlights of him and he reminds me of Deron Williams before the injuries. I think he's going to be a player.
At this point, honestly, being a better scorer than Burke is not too difficult.
ESPN guys, including Chad Ford, think he's an upgrade from Burke.
I didn't know much at the time so haven't commented. After a little bit of research I am encouraged. He's already been playing both guard spots, and he has been very productive since he got there in addition to playing in a strong conference. I'm not worried about BC's record because they had an otherwise terrible roster and he's a 2nd rounder for god's sake. He also comes from a mold unlike most of the roster in that he's just a pure scorer and the Jazz could probably use an instant-offense guy if he translates. I also like that he's an underclassman. I also like his size as others have mentioned. No downside, all upside. Into it.
One thing about this idea that he's Burke-esque: I'm wary of believing that he's a better prospect overall because Burke's résumé was so strong, but one thing is for certain; Hanlan FINISHES. That was always a question mark for Burke. The players are very different in that regard.

Pretty nice that he was efficient while still having a really high usage.

I don't really know much about the different conferences in college ball, or about college ball in general really. But why is it that someone like Damian Lillard can put up good numbers in what i understand is a poor conference and then gain lots of attention when someone like Hanlan can put up similar (close enough) numbers on a poor team in the ACC which is supposed to be quite good and be completely off the radar?
Is it simply that stats are pretty meaningless when looking at this?
And no I'm not really trying to compare the two players directly, just the situations they were in.

Leading the conference in scoring is one thing, leading the nation in scoring like Lillard did for much of the season got him attention and still he wasn't really well known as top prospect until later in his senior season. Anyways about Hanlan I really like the kid. He's got shooting range and ability to get in the paint and draw contact(averaged 7 FTA last season) and score. Being 22 I think will help early on, he is the same age as Burke and him working in the past with Steve Nash on the Canadian U19 team can't hurt.
