Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4803181, member: 1414"] We may also remember that aside from Auburn, Hawkins couldn't buy a basket, his ball handling was comically bad, and his defense wasn't much better. By end of the year, you could see the improvement in all phases. Freshmen can contribute, but I think we all need to re-evaluate what that means in the portal era. On deep teams that can bring in experienced players via the portal, freshmen are going to have to be very good to carve out a big role. If they don't play much, it doesn't mean that they won't become major contributors. Not anymore. [/QUOTE]
