Yeah with Hawkins size right now. I would be surprised if he gets any noticeable minutes this season. Leonard Miller for the wolves looks like a steal.
That’s what I don’t get, you drafted him to fill a need but he’s not going to be able to fill that need because he’s clearly way too small to play big minutes this year

Offense was pretty great before the injuries started.

He will. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about his defense.
It’s why I had him in the 20’s. If his shot isn’t falling he gives you nothing else.

Matkovic has been a bit disappointing but Landers Nolley is looking better than expected.

Yep I hated the pick and hate it even more seeing how small he looks at summer league. Imagine how small he’ll look in an actual NBA game

He doesn't need to be Ray Allen, he just needs to be a 6th man scorer. His size won't be as big of a liability in that role.

How much will this board melt if Whitmore has a solid to great game lol

His size and defense looks to be an issue in summer league against non nba players. Our 6th man right now is Herb or Trey. I cant see this guy on their level. Its first game though so lets see.

Matkovic would have been great in the hack-a-Shaq era. He's someone you definitely would've been able to count on to come in the game and give you those five fouls.

His size has clearly hindered him in this Summer League game. Once he gets into the league it’s going to be a big liability regardless of the role.
If he had the frame to significantly bulk up I think it would be different, but I don’t think his frame is set up for him to do that.

His size will absolutely be a liability any time he's on the floor. Any competent NBA team will get him in a switch and drive right through him for an automatic 2 points

He'll be perfect to add to CJ and BI combining for 5/29

He seems like a guy especially at UConn that you need to devise plays for him to thrive on an offensive level. But who’ going to do that for a guy whos defense is bad and hes like 9th or worse in the rotation.

Nolley on the other hand has been surprisingly solid.
Posted on 7/7/23 at 5:03 pm to GOP_Tiger
Nolley might be better than Hawkins

I love Whitmore’s game, had him incredibly high. Though I think the reasons he dropped are fairly obvious. The guy I really liked and had ranked 12 spots higher than Hawkins is Kobe Bufkin. I would have loved that pick.

Same

I’m just going to pretend we drafted him 14th. He has actual nba size and can shoot
