Here's a gentle reminder that, of all our regular rotation players, Hawk has the worst +/-. The reason that Willie doesn't play him is that we lose his minutes. This is because Hawk's defense is still very much a work in progress.


While I agree with you that he needs work, Willie don’t give a shite about +/-. Jose always wins his minutes and leads the team in that category but somehow Willie managed to pull him out of the rotation for no fricking reason.

Jose’s minutes went to Hawkins. And then Hawkins’ minutes went back to Jose.

So again, you can probably play Hawkins, but it will likely cost you wins in the short term.

Jose’s RPM (real +\-) has been in the negative the last three seasons. It’s the most comprehensive on/off stat. ESPN pulled it from their site recently but I’d bet Hawkins fares better in RPM than BPM

BPM is simply pulled from box score data. It’s a shitty stat especially for guys who don’t get a lot of minutes
