re: Maybe we’ll see Hawkins tomorrow…

Of course the prioirty is to win the game.
We aren't going to lose the game b/c Hawkins played 3 minutes in the 2nd quarter.
That's all he needs. You'll know real quick if he is capable of playing more or if he isn't. Maybe the game is too rough for him, or maybe he comes out there and hits 2 3's in their face. Throw him out there and see. He's a national champion. I'm100% positive he's not scared to be out there.

Naji, Jose, JV, Larry, Hawkins, those are all guys that should have their minutes determined by how they are playing. Some games Naji is great out there, and i thought he played great in game 1. I don't think Jose played particularly well, and he did have the worse +/- on the team in game 1, which is not normal for him considering he's got the 2nd highest on the team this year just barely behind Trey. That's what Naji and Jose do though. Some games they are great, some just ok, and a few times they really aren't that good.

Hawkins played in all 3 regular season games against them, so it's not like he's never seen them before, or they don't know who he is. I guarantee you if he gets on the court they know who he is and they aren't letting him get open. And if he can go out there and make a defender stick on him all the time, then that's better than what Herb and Dyson do in the corner with SGA basically playing free safety.
and if SGA guards Hawkins, that's when you run sets for him and make SGA chase him and do some work on that end of the floor.
