Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4098656, member: 55"] I’m not down on Hawkins either. He very well may have earned his starting spot in camp. My point, however, is that once you see a player on the court it stops mattering what rating services predicted of him when he was in High School. Or how few years player’s entourages think they need to be in college before going pro. And I don’t disagree that Akok and Sanogo are a better offensive pairing than Whaley and Sanogo. But defense will factor into it as well, and if one of Akok or Sanogo can’t guard on the perimeter Whaley isn’t losing minutes. (Although I see all 3 of them playing at least 20 minutes a night anyway, with the extra minutes depending on who is playing well. And from what I saw of Johnson, his understanding of how to play college hoops isn’t going to catch up to his talent level anytime soon.) [/QUOTE]
