[QUOTE="IlliniFandom, post: 1672846, member: 26111"] I saw growth in Hawkins, but also a long way to go to fulfill his potential. Plummer will not be relied upon to create his own shot. he's a pass and shoot guy only. BBV - I see this more as an outlier for now. I don't doubt he has improved and can be a solid breather for the team once in a while, but he was just a larger, more physical person than the Jackson state had and thus was able to succeed. I don't think I'm ready yet to say he has lots of promise and lots of upside as we did when he came in as a freshman during exhibition and dubbed him the next heir apparent. Podz - I think he is further away than we think, especially when compared to Goode and Melendez which is funny given how scared everyone was about him decommitting when we lost Chin. I still think he could be a good player. I love that he was identified as the one with the biggest chip on his shoulder. I hope he turns into a Lucas Johnson type for us that is scrappy, energetic, and can drain an outside shot once in a while. [/QUOTE]
