It's not your bias. Hawkins is going to light stuff up this season, especially if Williamson is healthy. Zion has a ton of gravity on the block and trying to decide between death in the post and death from distance is going to be very very difficult for opposing teams to deal with.I’m not a huge NBA fan, but I’ve seen him do some insane things on tape. I think given his unique size and skills, if he stays healthy he will definitely be “one of the best players of his era”.
I also think Hawkins will be a top 3 player from this draft class, but that could just be my UConn bias…
fwiw, not that a couple of summer league games determine much, but Tyrese is holding his own so far.Thanks for the info on the timing of Tyrese's 2nd year guarantee. He certainly has something to play for in the short term. He is in a tough spot with AJ Griffin being the 1st round pick last year, and another shooting guard (Bufkin) drafted in the 1st round this year as well as Lundy in the 2nd round. Just a crowded position for the Hawks. It will be tough to hold onto a spot with Atlanta.
He went into a funk early on in his UConn career. He just needs to relax.Credit to Hawkins for trying to be more aggressive but he is really forcing it right now. The shot hasn't been falling so he's been putting the ball on the floor and had a couple of turnovers in the last few minutes
Brutal game for Hawk tonight. For the three games he was 14-42 fg, 5-22 threes, 13 turnovers. He did some other things but his role will be shooting, he needs to start making them. They're not going to let him put the ball on the floor much at all, he just doesn't have NBA level ball handling yet. Hopefully it comes with time but he's a major work in progress there.
REALLY rough game for Hawkins. 1-12 shooting and 5 turnovers. Still not comfortable dribbling or facing heavy pressure. I’m sure it’ll get better with defined offensive sets to get him open, but that was a bad game
Really good defense though! Was active, switching, and keeping guys in front. Good way to get minutes when shots aren’t falling
They played this during Andre's game today:
Hawkins is a bust.
