He has guts, confidence (maybe a bit much), athleticism, good form. And he must come back. Just a very, very young man. Coming back = good news.

His confidence is hardly "a bit much". He is a confident shooter but gets down on himself way too much after misses or TOs. His mentality is what keeps him from playing late in games more than his lack of handle.

We open the Big East slate Saturday on national TV, in case anyone would rather talk about that.

Hope to see him finish his drives to the basket, a bit out of control and tries to put unnecessary english on the ball. He’ll come around, he’s exciting to watch. His confidence goes up when he makes a few baskets, it’s teaching him to keep his attitude up when he misses a few consecutively.

Disagree, a lot. Hawkins’s handle is atrocious. His deficient mentality is a side effect of that, and the first time his lack of confidence showed up was after that bad turnover in OT against Auburn.
 
Hawk is growing up in front of us. He's still a young kid. IMO-He has set very high standards for himself and he has been humbled a few times at this level of play-Perhaps more than he had expected.

BE play will be a different level of intensity than he's seen so far in his CBB career.. I believe he'll get it figured out sooner rather than later and be a significant contributor by Tournament time. Danny is showing confidence in his game despite bumps along the way. Give him credit for having onions.
 
He's a young man that needs more experience playing at a higher level and sure he has issues with his handles and turnovers but once all that comes together he will be just fine. I'm excited for this kids future.

bouk makes hawk look skinny, he needs another year to grow, if nothing else.
 
I'm not proud of knowing this song exists but it fits the theme.

Just think he tends to pout and get down when he makes a mistake. A player like Adama makes a mistake and says “give me the ball again and I’ll show you”. Hawk will get there soon. He has great confidence when his shot is falling.

Not sure how that translates to him lacking guts.
 
I have no idea how the NBA decides who's ready, but if Chet Holmgren isn't too skinny to be one of the top picks in the draft, I assume Hawkins is big enough.
Let's see how he's playing in February and March.
