Very Content With Progress

No I meant three games. Sure we do nitpick and probably never fully satisfied but I feel (and I think many on here do too) that this team could have a special season. Getting better in the half court offensively would really help!

Thanks for clarification. He may see those type of minutes later this season. At the very least 20+ seems possible.

I think it would be better if you just assume Dan Hurley knows what he's doing as far as pt is concerned. He has way more info than us. He sees all the bench players daily in practice. Obviously you know that, but I think us fans need to constantly relearn that same lesson.

AJ is the perfect example. People wanted more AJ last year. For the same or similar reason. He's clearly the most athletic. He just needs the pt and boom, our ceiling will be higher. Well, he's getting more minutes this year. he's still our best athlete. Is he our best player? Has the half court offense improved drastically? Probably not.

I suspect you think Hawkins is different. He's more offensive. Better shooter, better whatever.... it's not different. trust Dan Hurley and staff know better. And the right guys are receiving the appropriate amount of minutes.

I respectfully disagree on his left hand. I also think he could get better position closer to the basket before starting his moves and yes he should use the glass more. I am absolutely not saying in any way that this kid isn’t really talented. He absolutely is! You can certainly disagree with me and might be right to do so but I just feel like the half court offense shouldn’t be run through him as option one. It certainly looks like Danny agrees with you and hey, he is the professional not me but I would really like to see what 30+ minutes of Hawkins looks like?

I fully expect to see more and more of Hawkins but I think that will be at the expense of others rather than Sanogo. Hawkins looks very active and I suspect it will not be long before he is getting more and more minutes. He brings more to the table than just long range shooting. After watching the VCU rock fight today and the Auburn game Wednesday our ballhandling ability under pressure is going to bring more pressure until we demonstrate we can handle it. Having 22-24 turnovers a game is not acceptable.
