Very fair question - maybe a camera to Gampel?I’m confused. The game is at XL, how are they doing the huskies of honor?
No, not yet but I've seen it written they've been planning for it to happen. From my understanding Rashad isn't going into the Huskies of Honors individually. The entire 2003-2004 team is being honored.Is Ben Gordon in the HOH?
He would shoot more 3s but as far as an NBA prospect, I don't see it at all.Anderson was about 15 years ahead of his time.
In todays game he would be Hawkins. He'd take 15 3's per game coming off screens, and i think his draft position would be in the Hawk ballpark as well.
He didn't have nearly the athleticism of Hawkins. And struggled to put the ball on the floor. Also would have serious problems defending in the NBA. Tremendous shooter, fantastic college player, but not much of an NBA prospect (whether in 2024 or 2006).Anderson was about 15 years ahead of his time.

Wow. I'm definitely leaving open the chance that i'm remembering Rashad incorrectly. I remember him being a decent athlete, but maybe im remembering too fondly. I really think his skillset would get him real looks at actual playing time in the NBA. Movement shooting and shooting with a defender close to you are two of the most valued skills today for an off ball guard. I see Rashad similarly to how i see JJ Redick, who played 14 years with a negative wingspan, negative athleticism, and only 1 real plus skill.He didn't have nearly the athleticism of Hawkins.

ONIONS!Daggers.
Whenever I think of Rashad (and part of me really wants to type in "Rashard" here and tag @businesslawyer) I remember thinking anytime the ball left his hands I felt like it was a certainty it was going in. In fact, pretty much anytime he curled around the screen I figured he was going to get the ball and sink a three. I loved that kid, not only for his scoring, but for his swagger.Wow.

I suppose i usually factor in that he would have trained totally differently now than he would have then
And i will also say that the 2 criticisms of Rashad were the same for Hawk a few months ago (defense, handle).
But again, i was a huge Rashad fan, so i'm probably misremembering a bit.
Rashad and JJ played college ball in the same era, one went 11th in the draft and played 14 seasons, the other went undrafted, had a summer league stint and spent the rest of his pro career overseas. JJ was better just like Hawkins is, I don't see how a 20 year time jump suddenly makes Rashad on the same level of prospect as Hawkins.Wow.
