Coveted UNC basketball transfer target Coleman Hawkins may be boosting his stock considerably at the NBA Draft Combine.
If Coleman Hawkins decides to use his extra year of NCAA eligibility next season, all signs point to UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis and his crew being a frontrunner for his services. But that's now an even bigger "if" in light of the former four-year Illinois big man's performance at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward and reigning All-Big Ten Third Team talent poured in 17 points, shooting a blistering 6-for-7 from the field, 3-for-4 beyond the arc, and 2-for-2 at the foul line while chipping in five rebounds, three assists, and one block in only 22 minutes on the floor. "I knew what I needed to improve on to look good and impress some scouts," Coleman told ESPN on the court afterward, "and I went out there and did it."For now, many mock drafts list Coleman Hawkins, one of the top uncommitted players in the transfer portal, as a late second-rounder.
