Surprised we didn't see anything about him on the recruiting board last year. I'd have to imagine he was pretty good in highschool

Fine. I'll be honest, I always read it as Shortness. Didn't even realize I was doing it. Eyes playing tricks on me.

I was hoping for something more other than empty platitudes.

he cant shoot. everything is a flat out brick. he's slow as molasses. and he is a poor dribbler as well. he plays kinda long and at times is a decent passer. that's about it though.
he had an alley oop (really what skill is in that) on a fast break and that was it. he missed everything else badly. i do remember him making a nice pass to hickey for a 3. that's the only good play i recall from him all night.

I do think when Coleman is back, he takes almost all of Hammink's minutes. From the start I think Hammink averages 5 min/gm played but sits out a good number of games.

He's still young and inexperienced. He can still contribute, but he'll need to shoot better from behind the arc and defend well. He'll never be a starter, but he isn't terrible.

I agree with all of this except for the young and inexperienced part.

again disagree. if his last name wasnt hammink i doubt he would have a scholarship.
i would be surprised at all if he ever developed. he just has zero skill set.

He played good D (as did nearly everyone on the team), and most of his minutes today were due to Coleman being hurt.

I'll agree that he won't ever amount to anything but a bench player at LSU, however to say he played terrible last night isn't fair to him.
He didn't commit a turnover and had 2 assists. That in itself is enough to give him a relatively decent grade.

Coleman being hurt + exhibition game. i never said i had issue with the minutes he got in this particular game.

Yeah, this is the key.

i'd have to rewatch. perhaps he didnt have a turnover because we ultimately ended up with it but i think he fumbled the ball several times. he was not crisp with the ball in his hands from what i remember.

You realize that some of the freshman on the team are older than Hammink.

No, I didn't realize that actually. But still, Hammink got a lot of minutes last year. I have kind of a hard time using inexperience as a crutch. I think he'll be a decent bench player, hell maybe he'll even be a good bench player IF he improves his outside shot. As of right now, I don't see him as much more than a 4-5 minute guy to put in in a pinch.

Let's just back off of the Hammink talk and notice something...

He's a 19 year-old Sophmore who didn't get a ton of minutes last season. That's young and inexperienced to me.

Fair enough. I'm really not trying to bash the kid. I was just hoping to see a little more at this point. Not sure about his upside.
