13 Minutes for Hawkins

[UConnSwag11]

There's no reason why he gets such a short leash when everyone else as of late has been playing horribly. He's proven to be the only one who can get separation and can get his own shot.

 

[Psolo12]

He’d be playing all of gaffney’s minutes if he had a tighter handle.

 

[CTBasketball]

He makes too many mistakes defensively and turns the ball over. He’s a freshman but he needs the leash.

 

[Apollo]

This dude needs more burn. He’s got too much potential to be tethered to the bench. Only way he’s going to learn is by playing through his mistakes

I don't think this game was going to be a good one for Hawkins, so I'm not surprised. But I don't love the short leash for him either. Some people don't like to hear it, but if you don't give talented freshman big minutes, it's going to affect our recruiting eventually.

I want 25 minutes for him vs Maryland ES. He earned it with his performance earlier this week.

Yup, I’m going to start sounding like a broken record from other threads too but why in the world is he not out there when we look like we have 5 guys stuck in mud out there?? The offensive firepower of Cole-Jackson-Martin-Sanogo-Whaley is equivalent to bringing a knife to a gun fight. It’s SO bad, and Hawk is the answer. The guy is a stud, he has huge cajones and doesn’t look afraid of the moment when he’s out there, and then Hurley goes to Polley and Gaffney instead. Infuriating to say the least, it’s starting to drive me crazy watching these games. How he can’t see it is beyond me. I don’t claim to be an expert but Comeon….

media needs to ask the question

Agree completely with this

How's Gaffneys play been?

 

[HooperScooper]

And Gaffney played 22 minutes and he wasn't very good today.

 

[Psolo12]

How's Gaffneys play been?

Agreed, I’d give his minutes to other people, just saying what the staff’s reasoning is most likely.

 

[Hi-Low]

Hawkins looked a bit skittish today

 

[UCTitleTown]

If he knows how to not get trapped on the sidelines or by double teams, play him.

This wasn’t the tournament to “teach” Diggins and Hawkins
