Hawkins averaged 5 shots a game (3 threes) in 14 minutes as a freshman. JoeyC averaged 5 shots a game (3 threes) in 15 minutes. What are you talking about? It was the same role. He was given free rein to shoot.

McNeeley could have been a bench guy this year if he was beat out for the starting 3. But that didn’t happen.

Was it maybe hard for Ball last year to develop in game because we got Spencer? Yeah. Would he be slightly ahead of where he is now and we maybe have another win or two this year? Certainly a reasonable argument. But there was also another freshman in his way last year too, who he started in place of for a while until we had a dumpster fire game at Seton Hall and we made the change we needed to make.

And thank goodness we got Spencer because plug a freshman Ball in that spot and we could very well have one less title. Maybe we win anyway - but that’s an alternate reality. The one we live in has us with 6 titles - and two in a row, with some utter domination that will have our team legendary as one of the best college teams ever - and I’m not changing a thing.
