Scale of 1-10. How excited should we be?
Hawk is a 4 if he ever does make the NBA so no he shouldn't get much bigger. KD exposed Anton but Hawk is never going to do that. There's only one KD. Of course they want more but his gifts are to a great degree god given. Hawk moves well for a bigger guy but I wouldn't call him explosive or mention him or many in the same breath as arguably the best player in the world. Hawk needs to worry more about improving his peremiter shoot at the college level much less the NBA range before he ever sniffs the NBA. His weight at the 4 is fine.
Not sure about him. My dad says he doesn't work hard on defense. He says a lot of times he doesn't run down the court. He says he only really tries during the playoffs.

Yeah, I didn't compare him to KD and I didn't say he was explosive. I used KD as a prototype for a 6'9-6"11 NBA forward in todays game, and I said CoHawk would lose explosiveness by increasing his weight.

OK. I disagree. That muscle would only enhance his power and agility. I can't understand any downside to him playing at 250 if that 30 lb gain has come through increasing his squat, press and deadlift significantly.
Rowinski was listed at 6'8", 250 lbs. CoHawk is two inches taller. Frankly, he could go 20 lbs beyond that and be deadly.
Of course, it's irrelevant beyond speculative value. He'll never get there. Will be surprised if he tops 230. Love the guy and just want to see him reach his potential while wearing the O&B.
Just a guess, but I’m thinking his diet and regimen was fortified heavily by steroids. He was a beanpole one season and Charles Atlas the next.

I would take Brandon Garrison, if that is who you are thinking!
He is already 18yrs old and in the 2023 recruiting class.

Hmmmmm.... Imagine that... Thank you for confirming what I tried to tell people....
Oh can I guess, it’s Lieb and they are going after a veteran guard instead.

Edit: my bad it was George Conztanza; Kramer invented it.
I couldn’t find any gifs of Kramer in the bro, so this is what’s left…
A poster on one of the Carolina boards is saying he heard a rumor that Nance is going to take a visit to Michigan but he couldn’t verify it.
Not sure really how things work overseas, but I'd have to believe that there's possibly some cachet that comes from Duke and additional cachet with tourney success. So from the standpoint of securing a Euro contract, this could perhaps help.
Of course, 12mpg and 3ppg won't help if that happens. If he goes to Duke I'll be rooting hard for him to get about 15ppg for a 12-18 Duke team.
