22 of 60 I believe right now through 8 games. T-Wolves basically stayed home on him tight. Really didn't get many good looks because he was the Pelicans second best player on the floor. He did OK with it. Should have been 3/6 from three if he didn't step back on a three that went in and touch out of bounds. That would have put him at 17 for the game and much more respectable. Honestly Pelicans won't win much until they get their rotation guys back which should ease the load for Hawkins.

Not sure if this is a dig or not. He "allegedly" knocked up a P*** Star?

It's not alleged, he got a cam girl pregnant, they announced it together. The full blown pr0n chick who was going crazy on twitter was not pregnant.
 
AJax part of the rotation now? Getting early run vs the Pacers, figured they wouldn't want two young players in the rotation b/w him and Marjon but they're both on the court together.
 
Didn't realize Dame was out, might have something to do with the early minutes

It’s so encouraging that they trust him

With McCollum now out for a few weeks and the rest of their stars in and out of the lineup, they didn't have much choice, which seems to have worked out very well for him and he's earned the respect now.
 
Hawkins really looking he can be Reggie Miller level player. His confidence is amazing in the nba for a rookie.

Hawkins fouled out with 15 sec left unfortunately and then his team needed a 3 to tie.

Somehow they didn't get him a single shot attempt in the 4th.

25/68 for 36.8 percent from three.

The rookie record for made threes in a season was last year at 206 in 80 games by Keegan Murray at 40+ percent. Hawkins is gunning even more than that.

The Pels have 0 shooters, he will get even more chances all season long.
 
Weekly update. Among rookies, Hawkins is now:
  • 3rd in total points (behind Wembanyama and Chet)
  • 1st in total 3PM
  • 5th in rebounds (behind Ausar Thompson, Wemby, Chet, Lively)
He is just outside of the top 10 of all players for 3PM. He has 25, and #10 has 26
