Derick Hamilton brings efficient interior scoring and offensive glass work to UTEP
In the 2024-25 season, Hamilton was a low-usage, high-efficiency frontcourt piece for UTEP, averaging 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 57% from the field and appearing in 32 of 33 games. His calling card is clean finishing around the rim and strong offensive rebounding—Campbell’s 2025 transfer note said more than half of his career rebounds came on the offensive end—and that gives a roster extra possessions without needing touches. The fit is best for teams that value energy, size, and dependable rotation minutes over high-volume scoring.
