[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1672870, member: 623415"] I’m not going to get to excited about or down on a player based upon this game — especially when it comes to the 5 spot. Only thing this game told me about Payne is that at least right now it doesn’t look like he’s a plug and play at the 5 when Kofi leaves. But I still think he’s going to be primary backup and will do a good job. Think he’ll definitely be upgrade over Giorgi when it comes to D. As for BBV, my take away is that he may be a more productive piece if needed than I think most, including me, thought. But I’m not willing to put him above Payne nor even into the rotation based on this game. Going forward, I’m probably most interested in seeing Hawk perform against better competition. He has looked great in the exhibition and first games, and I don’t doubt he has taken a step forward. How big a step remains to be seen. But certainly looks like at the least he gives BU some nice flexibility. [/QUOTE]
