Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4176837, member: 34"] Early in the season you could see Hawkins just kinda running around the court to certain spots. Several other posters besides me had the same observations. He just didn't understand this isn't HS where you can catch the ball and then decide to dominate the player guarding you. The article mentions running hard to a spot and being in the shooting position. That's what he has to do in college. Be ready to punish as soon as he touches the ball. Like many others have said, just watch tapes of Rip and Ray and see how the moved with purpose and had feet set when they touched the ball. It absolutely kills the defenses ability to hedge a wing defender against entry passes to Sanogo. If Sanogo ever gets good enough to recognize not just the double but how to pass out of the double to the opposite wing, watch out. Defense doesn't have time to rotate quick enough. [/QUOTE]
