I look at skillsets. I do know that as of February 2021 when I watched all but 2 of his games, Hawkins was not nearly the 1v1 shot creator and ballhandler people are making him out to be. He is a brilliant shooter off the catch or 1 dribble, has a basic straight line drive, and is a top-notch defender. Bouk was an okay shooter with ridiculous shot creation ability, some of the best finishing we've ever seen at UConn and okay defense. Who is more talented is a silly argument because for shooting guards, they have almost polar opposite skill sets offensively. Maybe except that neither is a great passer. [/QUOTE]
