It will be interesting to see how minutes are split at the 4 this year between Verdonk, Grandison, and Hawkins. I suppose a lot of this will depend on health and the current matchup.

I'm going with the same starting lineup today. I don't expect us to shoot as well, so perhaps more scoring from the paint.

How about we lead the nation in scoring after week 1?

Just heard Kofi is 7’1”. Growth plates still open?

Some said they weren't impressed by Hawkins. But we haven't had too many 6-10 players grab a rebound and take it up court to start the offense. He is our stretch 4 if the future and will do a great job. He has a nice stroke from 3 as well.

I like his potential. I don't think I've seen us run the kind of pinch-post play Underwood had at SFA, and I think that reflects personnel, not philosophy. Not sure how he'll develop, but he looks like he might have the tools for a lot of what we'd want in an ideal 4.

Kofi not elevating like he was late last season. Fletch and OA will take care of that.

Damonte looking real comfortable shooting the 3. Absolutely no hesitation.

DaMonte has a little more arc on his shot this year too ---- perhaps a learning from his new Peoria mate.

His shot looks really good. Used to be really flat.

I mean. They haven’t had an empty trip yet, have they?
