Willie showed trust in Hawkins earlier this season when we had so many key wing guys out in Jose, CJ, and Trigga. While Hawks spacing and surprising "two dribbles and make a basketball play", has been good for the offense, Hawk has been targeted nonstop on D. He is terrible when put in pick & roll situations, and our lack of an interior shot-blocking presence exposes him even more.
Willie is going to have to find playing time against teams that don't have good scoring backcourts.
