The fact that Hawkins is benched and gaffney is in over him is ridiculous lnot true hawkins is good enough to play and he too should be playing as well
end of the game and we need points, get his ass in there
agreed you have AJ and whalley who average 4 points get hawkins some burnThe fact that Hawkins is benched and gaffney is in over him is ridiculous l
You know what you’re getting with Jackson scoring wise. But he rebounds and pushes tempo with the ball. Hawkins barely playing is criminalagreed you have AJ and whalley who average 4 points get hawkins some burn
Gaffeny has been stale try Diggins
You would tend to think that is the case, but there are cases in the past with guys buried on the bench under Hurley and coming in and having major impacts.If he isn't playing, he isn't good enough to play.

Not asking him to carry the team vs the ‘98 Bulls. 3rd game in 3 days all slugfests - some guys were really struggling , just saying there’s other optionsI can't wait for him to get in so this backup qb syndrome can end.
Sorry, we don't blindly speculate on transfers here.He will transfer out. Wheels already may be in motion.
Agreed, want to see him against the low majors myself. But I doubt he was ready for those last 3 slugfests.Not asking him to carry the team vs the ‘98 Bulls. 3rd game in 3 days all slugfests - some guys were really struggling , just saying there’s other options

It even got a like.Given the potential for this team and the fact that it’s still November it’s almost impressive that garbage like this is being posted already. The Yard never fails to rise to the occasion.
One example was right in front of us today, Isiah Whaley. Remember he was buried on the bench, hardly ever got any minutes and then one day, Hurley brings him in and viola…he was “discovered”!You would tend to think that is the case, but there are cases in the past with guys buried on the bench under Hurley and coming in and having major impacts.
Playing a junior over a freshmen that has had trouble holding on to the ball and was not hitting his shots is ridiculous? Its only ridiculous because Gaff stinks!The fact that Hawkins is benched and gaffney is in over him is ridiculous l
Nobody was hitting their shots. Hawkins has show he’s the only one who has a pull-up midrange jumper and can get separation. No one can create their own shotPlaying a junior over a freshmen that has had trouble holding on to the ball and was not hitting his shots is ridiculous? Its only ridiculous because Gaff stinks!
I agree but im just trying to point out what i think DHs thinking is in that situation.Nobody was hitting their shots. Hawkins has show he’s the only one who has a pull-up midrange jumper and can get separation. No one can create their own shot

The games are an entirely different deal than practice. You won't know how kids will play until you throw them in the fire. We know how Gaffney plays point guard, we've seen it for three years and he's clearly not a point guard. Hurley and staff are some of the best recruiters in the country, coach is going to have to play those recruits.Hmmm, I wonder if coaches that see the players in practice for several hours every day might have a better idea than the rest of us as to which guys are more game-ready?!
You missed my point - I'd imagine that they have seen that the players on the bench have not shown they can perform in games because they have not shown against our own players that they can do what is needed to perform in games. I think a lot of people immediately think the guys on the bench are going to perform better than a starter if the starter falters in a game. What makes you think that Diggins/Johnson/Springs would not falter as badly or worse than the starters? What are you basing it on? Because I have seen a limited amount of each guy against inferior competition (i.e. the first four games) than what we faced this week. I would love to see those guys develop but that is just exactly what they have to do - DEVELOP.The games are an entirely different deal than practice.

You missed my point. You don't know how they will perform if you don't play them in games. You don't know how they'll develop if you don't play them in games. Playing only one point guard every game isn't going to work, Diggins needs to play.You missed my point - I'd imagine that they have seen that the players on the bench have not shown they can perform in games because they have not shown against our own players that they can do what is needed to perform in games.
