Former NBA shooting guard Daniel Hamilton has inked a new deal with the Guaynabo Mets of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional league of Puerto Rico, according to Dario Skerletic of Sportando.
The 6’5″ Hamilton was the No. 56 draft pick in 2016 out of the University of Connecticut. He suited up for six games with the Thunder in the 2017/18 season and 19 games, including three starts, for the Hawks in 2018/19.
Across his 25 NBA games, Hamilton holds career averages of 2.8 PPG, 2.1 RPG, and 1.2 APG. He is shooting 39.4% from the field and 35.7% on 1.1 three-point attempts a night. Hamilton has also logged time with the Oklahoma City Blue, the Erie BayHawks, and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G-League.
Hamilton, the 2015 AAC Rookie of the Year, made the 2019/20 Cavaliers‘ training camp roster, but was waived before the start of the season.
He gets a ton of rebounds (in the G-League anyway) for a G… surprised he hasn’t gotten more of a shot in the NBA. A 6’7″ SG who can shoot the 3 decently well and can also grab boards at the rate he does seems like something that could be valuable off the bench for some team. Who knows maybe this opportunity will give him a show to show what he’s got and he’ll get a chance next season
