Expectations for Hawkins are way too high. He certainly could become that player next year but it seems unlikely to me. The kid averaged 6 points a game on 35/33/82 shooting splits and was worse in conference play. Him truly breaking out as a star seems more likely Junior year.
If that happens we're screwed.
20 points a game that’s all?? Lol
A point forward is a forward that plays the point.
He can get his own shot any time he wants if he has Hurley’s OK. He can put up points in a hurry, can get to the line, good ft shooter. Cole took it on himself to take the shots and Hawkins would have to do that whether he’s hot or cold. At 30+ minutes a game it’s possible, but not at 20 minutes. Hurley has to recognize who can score from the guard position. Who else you got?
I think the backlash against Andre at point on this board is largely a straw man. I haven’t seen anyone suggest that he should be the only player capable of playing the point on the roster. My guess is it will look similar to this past year where there will be a point guard but where Andre will see a lot of time at the point.
I think people are just freaking out because we currently don't have a point guard on the roster so people are talking about Jackson and Floyd playing the point when they clearly aren't starting point guards. Hurley needs to bring in a stud point guard and everyone will move on to the next thing to worry about.
Offensive rebounds slow down our pace metrics. We were significantly faster than that. We pushed the ball a lot with Andre grabbing and going. We were 27th in the country in fast break points per game.
We also slow our opponents down a ton which heavily impacts that Kenpom pace number. We’re not turtles like UVA, but the half court hasn’t been our friend. We’ve all seen the stretches where nobody besides Sanogo (or Bouknight last year) wants the ball, and we tended to use the whole shot clock in many of those stretches.Offensive rebounds slow down our pace metrics.

Slipped to the 40s in conference play, though. Still a lot higher than 300th...
That's a rough stat given they were best at getting 2nd chance opportunities. The PITP is embarrassing.
Thanks guys. I have a Kenpom subscription already, is this website with fast break points free?Offensive rebounds slow down our pace metrics. We were significantly faster than that. We pushed the ball a lot with Andre grabbing and going. We were 27th in the country in fast break points per game.

29th percentile… man. There will be so much roster turnover so maybe that changes soon
Don't necessarily need a signing, but would love some visits set up or on narrowed lists or whatever.
Wednesday might be pushing it. All the hoops coaches are down in NO through Monday at the NABC. That's why it's been relatively quiet last few days.
Ok, what’s an appropriate time frame, and don’t say “ 20 minutes “. Lol
Thursday
No real reason to be concerned until the guys we've been connected to start going elsewhere, so hard to put a time frame on that
This. And new guys going into portal still daily although The new names added pace is slowing
That’s my point. It’s like a game of musical chairs. It’s an exciting part of the game but nerve racking
