He has symptoms
I don’t know what you know of course, but the way I read the CDC is the symptoms have to be improving, not gone. I hope his symptoms are mild. It wasn’t that bad for me, but it wasn’t great and I certainly didn’t feel like I had full strength for some time afterwards.

Seeing CoHawk makes me think of Brian Randle. All of the tools to be really special. When will he learn to use them properly? I always thought Randle never reached his full potential. Hopefully CoHawk will.
Randle was a lot better. Too bad he broke his hand though

Randle averaged 15 point, 9 rebounds, and 6 fouls per 40 his senior year. Coleman currently averages 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 fouls per 40.
Randle was an unbelievable athlete. A good, but not great basketball player. Seems to be a great coach tho. Just couldn’t put it all together on the court.

He was so frustrating because you'd see flashes of what he could be but he never sustained it. He was a less extreme version of Kipper Nichols.

Right. I think that was OP's point. They are both players who have/had the ability to be great. It's just a matter of realizing their potential. Randle didn't. Hawkins still can. I don't think Randle was "a lot better" than Hawkins.

I‘ve thought of that comparison, too. Both are really long and athletic. Eventually, Randle became a defensive stopper, but not an offensive force. Hawkins is still trying to figure things out. He‘s capable of more .

I was in Section 203 Row 10, driving 280 miles from Michigan. There were hundreds of empty seats visible from where I sat. Scalpers must have taken a bath if all seats were sold.
I was in 204 and it was plenty full there far as I was concerned. It was below zero out on a Tuesday

Randle was a way better leaper than Hawkins. Hawkins really isn’t that athletic if you’re talking about leaping ability. Not even close to for example Payne (comparing him to someone the same height).
