Nah, I dont think so.Hawkins > Dick
He wasn't a creator at all at Duke either.Pels look great with Brandon Ingram running the offense. Ingram has 36 pts and 8 assists against LAC, and he's carving up the Clippers' defense. I get the sense that the Jazz would like to initiate from the wing like the Pels are right now. I wonder how much of that Gradey Dick can do.
If you value smallish ineffecient 2 guardsHawkins > Dick
Its a good thing we all have our own opinions even when it is wrong.Hawkins > Dick

I was talking about playmakingIngram had about 47% of his shots assisted at the college level compared to about 65% for Dick. Ingrams play inside the arc was especially self created ….why are we even making this comparison? Lol

You sometimes have the weirdest strawmen and non-sequiturs. We're not talking about whether Ingram's scoring was self-initiated at Duke. I'm pointing out that Ingram has been running the offense as a primary initiator for the Pels and doing an excellent job of it. Ingram averaged 2 assists per game as a freshman at Duke. He's been developing as a play initiator since he's been in the league, and he had 8 assists today while being guarded primarily by Kawhi. Towards the end of the game, the Clippers were trapping to get that ball out his hands and Ingram made great reads time and again.
If Gradey Dick--who averaged 1.8 assists per game and showed advanced feel and timing at Kansas--can develop as a passer and on-ball initiator like Brandon Ingram has, then his value as a player would go up substantially. Teams love to initiate offense from the wing.
I think most people underrated Dicks upside
Maybe Dick will grow into the roe if he lands in the right spot. It seems like his dribble penetration is solid.I think most people underrated Dicks upside
I like Dick a lot, been on him for a long time. Hawkins is a better shooter, moves well. I think he had good upside as well.I think most people underrated Dicks upside
I like Agbaji as well ( you are clearly the biggest OA homer on here and it's clear that is your reasoning for this semi stupid take) in fact there is no way Ochai gets that much usage without being a better on ball player. Hawkins is a much better on ball guard with a handles and a first step so as a playmaker he is slowly beginning to be given credit in that area as far as projected ability in the NBA. The innefficient label on Hawkins is weak argument imo, he is arguably the best shooter in this draft class, but with all the attention he has gotten this season from other teams defenses game planned against him his stat line aint the greatest. He is a legit 6'4 no shoes minimum imo and he don't play barefoot anyway. He is 6'5 on paper that is more than big enough.If you value smallish ineffecient 2 guards
