You kniw whats funny his playing style and even build is similar to curry and trae more than Ray. The issue with Hawkins will be his handle, playmaking and dribble penetration which he needs to absolutely improve. But his style of play, constantly running off ball, and always ready to shoot is exactly like them.

Eh he also said Scoot is better than westbrook and walker is similar to pascal. The whole Ray Allen comps are takes because he went to UConn too. But then again I ate my crow and honestly didn’t believe in the guy. Happy he’s thriving as a pelican though.

I asked yesterday, and still wonder, how did this guy last till the 14th pick of the draft? Every team in the NBA needs a guy like him, even if the rest of his game never improves.
Just for comparison,
Nickeil Alexander-Walker was a 17th pick.
Kira Lewis was a 13th pick.
Trey Murphy was a 17th pick.
Dyson Daniels was a 8th pick.

The NBA draft is crapshoot. Look at guys like Kira and even Scoot. You never know how guys will assimilate to NBA regular season. Not preseason or summer league but regular season. The competition in college and gleague is just not remotely the same.

He has played fantastic thus far, but let's not get carried away yet in saying that he is better than many of those picked before him even if his game never improves.

Like others said, draft is a crapshoot. We took Kira before Maxey who's dropping 50 point games.

And I know people wanted Maxey over Kira but no one thought he would become this. Rule of thumb- always draft kentucky guards. Cason Wallace looks good too.

Their drafts since the covid draft has been money. Trey, Herb, Dyson, and Hawkins are all good selections. The jury is still out Liddell but you can't hit on all of them.

I didn’t even realize he went to UCONN and thought of Ray Allen. The way he was rises on his jumper and his release look very similar.

3 PG Scoot Henderson (better Westbrook)

Did you really just give your own alter a pat on the back for a mediocre take?

I think the NBA gets caught up in youth prospects. He’s 21 so he’s an older rookie.

I was just joking. Because he and Ray are both slender, quick-release, and rise on their jumper. I forgot Ray went to UCONN. He's not close to Ray. But if he can just get stronger, and continue to improve. He's worth the pick.

I agree. It's hit or miss with the younger prospects. Trey and Herb are working out fine. Two players that didn't leave early.

Offensively he IS Peja 2.0. He's already better defensively, which I half expected but am glad to see.
