Summary
Former Arkansas Razorbacks guard Dusty Hannahs has made a career of proving the doubters wrong. He's heard the criticisms, and it just makes him work harder. Make no mistake: Hannahs excelled at Arkansas, leading the team in scoring in his two seasons on The Hill after transferring from Texas Tech. Now he's finding success in the G League and has twice made it to the NBA—the pinnacle of the sport—on 10-day contracts. So why is he still fighting negative perceptions about his game, or the idea that he's just a shooter? His story is one of how criticism has fueled his fire to be the best player he can be, and fulfill his dream of being an NBA mainstay.
