Re: Is now the time to pounce on Dougie Hamilton?
Yes I would agree with everything you said.
He's somehow getting those minutes despite being sheltered (although less sheltered than before). At least the coach trusts him during 3v3 OT.
I would not expect a drop off in his level of play from here on out (so that bodes well for his TOI and stuff). Something around a 30-35pt pace definitely seems realistic given his stats and usage. Is there room for better than that? Sure, but I wouldn't bet on it.
I'd rather take Hamilton over Spurgeon in any league.
