That's for sure 

We've got a top shelf A10 backcourt and yet both a subpar and too thin Frontcourt.  Clear with Dean crystal clear when he was out.

Dean's shooting 76.6% from the field, and his FT % has improved dramatically each year, now 72.2%

Dean's got bounce and size two things we could use a lot more.  The Southern Miss program he came from is 11-2 with a 137 KenPom.    He's a nice piece, we really needed 3-4 more of that on this roster to be cosistenly competitive. 

We'll get there

Hunter Dean is 4th in the nation in FG%.  #2 in the A10

He's also on the A10 leaderboard in Blocks per game, Rebound %  block %  etc

Now, we need to work on getting the ball to Hunter, and strategically, Noel, to see if anywhere near this
shooting percentage continues.

What a great game for Dean against UMASS.

GW among the many A10 candidates has two pretty good ones for Most Improved Player award.

Dean shot 31.5% from Free throws in 2020-21, 57.8% last year  and 80% this year

He's 76.3% from the field, remains on the A10 blocks and rebound % leaderboards, has spent most of the year one of the 5 best FG% in the nation.

Brendan Adams is the other GW  candidate.

Someone like Adams is more likely to win the award but Dean's hard work has paid off across the board.  Free Throw % improvement like that comes from one thing: HARD work.  Credit to the Coaching staff as well for helping foster his overall improvement.

Bravo To the White House Counselor

How about Hunter Dean tonight !?!

Dean had a really great game, but I thought he got a bit tired at the end. I’m sure Caputo wanted to ride the hot hand, but he could have used a break with about 5 minutes to go.
