quote:I like Hawkins well enough. Not certain he makes it to 14. I do not see him as the deadeye shooter Dick is. He is very inefficient at this point, but with structure could be a nice player. He is streaky and does not like to pass the ball. He also needs to put on some muscle.
It really depends on how much they value these bigs who hasn't shown stretch ability. Some of them are going to be 1 dimensional. The team may feel like they can get that in free agency especially if they want a big for depth.
As far as a shooter goes, the obvious choice is Hawkins. He's got the best shooting package we've seen in years. Some people don't love him because he's already polished at what he does and doesn't have the sexy upside.
I can imagine CJ, Hawkins, BI, Trey, and Zion on the court for maximum spacing. That's the kind of scoring we've envisioned for years now.

58% of his shots are from 3. He's very efficient there especially off the C&S. UCONN plays him primarily on the perimeter so his inefficiency overall makes sense when you look at raw numbers. The guy shoots off of movement, screens, relocation, multiple actions, DHO, off the dribble, in transition, and he runs around the court all game long. That requires a lot of stamina. You don't see guys with that type of shooting package out of college. The last one was probably Hield.
He also has better burst and athleticism than Dick. But more like a smaller package Trey. Dick shooting potential is Hawkins in a nutshell. But as a more well rounded player especially with his length and finishing ability at the basket. Dick has more upside overall but he isn't a better shooter than Hawkins right now based on the difficulty Hawkins is shooting at. Most guys don't reach that level.
Just looked it up, Hawkins shot 49.4% off of the catch and shoot. That's elite.
