I think Hawkins is going to be really good but Atlantis showed he needs to work on his handle. Made a couple bad turnovers with a loose handle and the press is a challenge for him at this point.Surprised Hawkins didn’t get more run in the 2nd half. He made some nice plays in the first half when he was in. I’m guessing Hurley thought he couldn’t handle VCU’s press?

He is going to get 20-30 min by January but now Hurley probably just didn't trust him to break a press over Jax Martin and Gaff and Cole (not that it worked that well for that group this week).
That inbounds pass by Jackson was pretty slick too. I mean he barely flicked his wrist to throw it down court.If you give me any 6 minute video where Whaley hits 3 3s and fist fights a stanchion, I'm going to watch it multiple times.
Gaffney's handles have always been terrible for a guard.I might be completely wrong but I am giving a pass to Gaffney and Hawkins on their handles because something just seemed weird all week with the courts. I remember hearing stories about the battle 4 atlantis a few years back that it was all converted ball rooms and the ceiling was only a few feet higher than the back of the backboard which felt super weird for the players. I've never seen anything up until the past few days that would make me question either of their handle so I'm going to just give them a mulligan and see what happens over the next few games.
