I’m concerned that Hawkins doesn’t have the athleticism, strength, and aggressiveness to warrant a lottery pick. Have you seen him drive and finish in traffic in the paint? Do you see him demanding the ball? Other than shoot catch and shoot 3s off a pick, what does he do? Defend? Rebound? Create for others? He’s mostly invisible with the exception of a few short bursts of 3s in these college games being defended by smaller players than in the nba.
We should maximize on the length available in this draft. Having positionless players that can do multiple things is the future of the NBA. I’m concerned that Hawkins just can’t do enough.
