a rookie can’t play the role of a veteran shooter

He's not going to learn on the bench and lottery picks (any 1st round player really) shouldn't be playing in the GLeague. He's going to make over 4M this year. That is supposed to be a bargain vs the production we get back. This is Lewis all over again. It wouldn't be good development and it's a waste of resources..

Sure he can, Trey Murphy did it 2 seasons aof. 60+ games and 14 mpg, which are both more than Barton would log with this team.

what’s your contingency plan when Hawkins does not turn out to be as good/reliable as TMIII?

In fairness, I wouldn't consider Will Barton at this point in his career a contingency plan either

definitely not expecting him to be a savior at this point either, but i do think he could be serviceable. i would have more confidence in his shooting than a rookie’s especially if he comes cheaper than said rookie
