Hes not. You’re getting caught up in the hype. Trey is a better defender, draws more fouls, more athletic at the rim. I love Hawk but hes not better than Murphy right now.

Considerably so.

And Trey is not a great defender; Hawk is still a poor defender.

I agree that Trey is the much better player right now.

The majority of these reasons for Trey is due to his size. And Trey Murphy is a really good player. I'm not saying he's bad. Hawkins just has a skill set literally every team in the league wants.

What skills you ask?

Hawkins can shoot off the rub pick 3s, step back 3s, motion 3s, he has a pump one dribble in pull up, he can knock down shots with dudes in his grill, he's got a middy, and he's got a far more advanced shot selection than Trey. I don't see Jordan take many if any bad shots.

He can do all of that better than Trey and has a faster release and a better handle. That's he's bad on d is merely due to inexperience, he's a really good rebounding guard and has 4 stls over his last 3 games. He has active hands. He'll be average in a year or two max.
