He needs all of Jose's minutes and some of cjs. Naji plays 3/4 and he plays 1/2 so you can't really take a lot of his minutes but this mfer needs 25 plus a night. He's fricking serious. There's a level he can get to that naji/Jose can't. He looks like he's got 3 level scorer potential with volume from 3. His shot selection is really advanced. Can shoot off the rub and off the dribble. No problems with a pump fake or shot reset after a fake.

Hawkins has all star stuff

Are there ways we can put Hawkins out there as an offensive 3 while hiding his defensive liabilities by switching guys with Dyson, Herb, etc?

I’m just looking at ways to expand our possible lineups considering that we have a glut of guards (CJ, GTA, Dyson, Hawkins) and at least one of those (GTA) is kind of limited to being point even if he busts his arse on defense hounding people.


This is one of those good problems to have in a sense… too many good players to find minutes for all of them. As opposed to the old days when we had probably 5-6 NBA level players and were raiding the trash heap for guys like Ajinca to fill a role cheaply.

I said this on draft night, read all of that again but with Peja in mind. Hawkins is like Peja 2.0. Dude can rain it from anywhere and pull up off the dribble like nothing. Also sneaky good at getting to the rim for easy layups.

Skinny screen shooter, deadly if left wide open, etc.
