I’d start Hawkins for whalley
Not that whalley has been bad in anyway
But we need more spacing
We can play 2 bigs at times of course
But time to change up
I’m glad we showed guts and saw a glimmer of great play at times
Nah. He hit them when we were playing our best. We have a big need to open space. We need some dribble drive penetration as well. Only way to do that is by playing smaller. I kind of hate saying out whalley on bench because he plays so hard but we need cohesionI wouldn’t overthink Hawkins hitting a few garbage time threes while both novas starting guards were out.
He needs to figure out why he can’t dribble. I honestly have no idea how someone who can’t dribble was Maryland player of the year
I hate to say but how much if this falls on akoks lack of production? I feel the entire vision of this team has been shattered and it seems to gravitate around that ever so likable young man. Hurts to say.I’d start Hawkins for whalley

I guess you missed him dribble driving to below the FT line and making a good pass for Whaley for an easy bucket. Hawkins is a freshman and should be playing more to develop. It is obvious now that who is starting we aren't going to win with so why not mix it up and open up the court. It would have been nice if Whaley had worked on a consistent outside shot this offseason.I wouldn’t overthink Hawkins hitting a few garbage time threes while both novas starting guards were out.

I think you mean Hawkins. Polley is what he is now. A 33% shooter from 3 who brings nothing else. At least Hawkins has shown glimpses of drives and a mid range game. He is a Freshman and needs to develop now.I’d say Polley in place of Jackson to create more spacing.
I agree Hawkins needs minutes but Polley has been playing decent not great as of late. It’s more to pull a guy out on him to give sanogo more room to work.I think you mean Hawkins.

No I agree on what you mean. I just think starting Hawkins makes more sense now and keep Polley as a super sub. Hopefully both can become consistent from outside as we need this to open things up inside for Sanogo and Cole to drive.I agree Hawkins needs minutes but Polley has been playing decent not great as of late.

Hawkins can score a lot in a hurry. We need to live with the negatives in hope the positives outweigh them. Just an opinion but Polley is not providing the shooting we need nor is any other guard but Cole and it's not enough.I wouldn’t overthink Hawkins hitting a few garbage time threes while both novas starting guards were out.

You’re not serious right? We’re over a year removed from his injury and even for the delusional on this board Akok wasn’t expected to contribute a ton, let alone “shatter the entire vision of this team” because he’s not playing well in the two minutes he gets a game. There are around 55 different things wrong with this team and his lack of production is #49. Love the guy but this take is something.I hate to say but how much if this falls on akoks lack of production?

Yeah it’s a real awkward career, guy really isn’t a good shooter at all but gets the reputation that he does after saving us from 4-5 games in 5 years.Polley?
Why? He's had about 5 good games in 5 years. OK, I'm embellishing a tad, but not much.
Polley is not the solution to any problem
Well taking Whalley out is a mistake in my opinion. He comes up with big rebounds, tap and follow up with missed shot. He had a huge game two nights ago? Hawkins is a Freshman. He looks confused at times. He could sink a three and put up a few clunkers. He is going to be a great player. However, young, and it shows right now.Nah. He hit them when we were playing our best.
