I like Hawk, but don’t see him first team All-BIG next year. If he sticks around the next year, he could make an All-BIG team of some sort. Hope I’m wrong and am rooting for him. Now RJ on the other hand.
Either way, having those two on the floor could make us all forget next year could have been a “rebuilding year” REAL fast…

I don’t recall him having a flat shot, but i can’t find anything quickly to prove it one way or the other.
Speaking of a flat shot…..that makes me think Roger Powell Sr. Back in the day. More like a line drive.

That's because he didn't nor did Nick. Harps had a kind of side spin too it though Nick hadva nice src. Just look at the buzzer beater at Indiana. Saw them at the gym often and they had pretty shots.
That's one reason I didn't like Trents as much,. It was flatter and got to the rim fast. When his hit it was usually a swish or out. I think Goode, RJ and these two incoming combo guards have nice shots that look great .

Anything new on Miller?

Wow, was this expected? I kind of figured we weren’t in it.

If you are left unguarded, wide open by a team like Houston over and over it's because they picked their poison. The fact is Hawk shot 23 and 29 percent the last two seasons from 3. You can't blame his teammates when he had wide open looks! He along with Curbelo are who they decided to sag off of and cover Kofi. I dont understand your justification of Hawk taking and missing open looks. He was benched for RJ and Goode due to poor shooting from three. We need more shooting from the 4 spot next year that is for certain. Jake was clearly hurt and it had a massive impact. We need to recruit a stretch 4. Does Hawk have potential? Yes, he does but he is a long way from the NBA or a player like Brian Cook who many here act like he is.
Pinning this post for the end of next season.

Wait, are you saying RJ is wavering/going to the portal? Been a long day- can’t decipher IL board-speak tonight
