Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4189472, member: 504"] Jackson as a 2 or 3.usually a scorers position, I think is a drag on our offense. Yes he makes some really good passes and yes he rebounds and can block shots. His role is a little odd for what a scoring guard is usually expected to do. Nearing the end of his second year he’s only had a few really good scoring nights and has a bunch of either turnovers in his rush to create or bad drives into traffic. He’s sort of both fun and a pain to watch in an “oh brother” kind of way. Whaley scores better overall, defends and rebounds. Martin is a much better scorer although also prone to bad drives into traffic. I don’t know if Hawkins will ultimately bring us more, but it won’t hurt to find out and let him get more of Jackson’s time. That would be my choice. On O, our team really doesn’t have a player that the opponents have to worry about taking over games and scoring from all 3 levels and going off for between 20-30 points a game. Cole comes the closest but he’d be a lot more effective as a complementary threat. Hawkins shows a hint, but is a terrible defender like a lot of young guys. We are a team right now of pretty good role players so we are no pushover, but a team that can lose some maybe we figure to win but also win some we don’t figure to win. I know there’s a lot of Hurley trashing but his record says he knows how to coach despite some overreactions on the BY including some ridiculous takes like they don’t practice enough foul shooting. All I know about Hawkins and his playing time to date is that maybe it could be more, and maybe it could be some of Jackson’s time or less of Gaffney. Not so sure about Polley. I’m sure there would be people here who would be yapping for more Polley if Hawkins was inconsistent and whining about too much playing time for Hawkins if his defense cost wins. We’ll see if Hurley thinks there is a trigger to pull for Hawkins. [/QUOTE]
