[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1856659, member: 4716"] Agree....Hawk has a plethora of skills that are above avg. for a guy his size. But this team needs him to score aggressively in order to beat NCAA worthy teams. He passes on a myriad of high probability scoring situations and the team ends up chucking a contested three or forcing bad passes. He must make more attempts to score in the paint if this team is to accomplish anything. But, unfortunately, we are likely to never see that happen. I fully understand he does not have DD quickness and footwork....but a jump hook or a simple 10 ft. jumper are available to him 10 times a game....10 pts would easily result and when added to the team output would enable this team to beat anyone. Eight pts. and 8 boards is OK....but OK is not good enough unless you want to battle it out with OSU and Wisky for 10th place and be home, warm, and finished before the first weekend of the B1G tournament.
