“Justin Hamilton has done a good job for the LSU basketball program,” said LSU Coach Trent Johnson. “His development from the time he arrived prior to the 2010-11 season has been very impressive. During this process, our responsibility as a basketball staff was to make sure we educated Justin and his family of the many challenges that will lie in front of him. He will graduate from LSU this semester and will have his degree in hand. I and the members of our program wish him nothing but the best in his future.”

Hamilton finished 14th in the Southeastern Conference in scoring, ninth in rebounding, eighth in free throw percentage (78.1 percent, 107-137); ninth in blocked shots (1.3 bpg); and, second in offensive rebounds (3.3 orpg).

Hamilton was also a first-team All-District selection by the USBWA and a second-team All-District selection by the NABC.

guy probably wants to get the fvck out of Baton rouge. I don't blame him. Why would he automatically improve his draft stock by staying another year? Is Trent Johnson going to all the sudden utilize him more and coach him up?

Another season without making the NCAA tournament lies ahead. I'm so sick and tired of this crap. Although Dale Brown had his own problems, he led LSU to 10 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. Brady couldn't manage more than 2 consecutive appearances, Trent can't manage more than 1.

I was afraid he would leave....his height and ability to shoot make him desireable in Europe especially.
