Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4306792, member: 1414"] I mostly agree. But the overall talent level of the team has changed from the time Akok and Gaffney played major minutes. That is a big factor. Hawkins is a mix of "played his way onto the court" and "we didn't have a SG so played SF Martin at SG". Once Hawkins' defense improved, he became a vastly better option as an extra shooter than Polley, especially since Gaffney couldn't make anything. Johnson played behind the returning 6th year Big East DPOY, and Akok, and 6th year 6th man of the year Polley. Many of his minutes came when Sanogo and Whaley were out, as a 5. He was just blocked. I think that was a mistake by Hurley, but hopefully he can make up for it. On the whole, I'm with you. The need now is a 15 minute backup guard and another 5 minute depth guard or wing. [/QUOTE]
