I very much want Hawthorne. He and Sisley at the 3/4 in a couple of years looks excellent. Were there any tidbits about him today?

It doesn't. Not when you couple him with a non shooting 5.

No, I did. I'm not sure why you're lost. I'm willing to bet you've watched exactly zero film. Saying Bailey is a bad defender while stating Malik was an average one is absolutely astonishing. Nah. Ballo and Malik are trash defensively... use your eyeballs.

I pretty clearly explained what I was talking about. Ballo and Malik are pathetic defensively, and yeah, of course adding a joke of a defender in MM wasn't going to help anything. None of this is news. "block rate" zzzzzz

No lol Malik and Ballo are awful defensively. "protect the rim" was actually.. "standing there and being tall" and doing absolutely NOTHING else defensively and as we know, Malik is not only a poor defender, he's an incredibly unaware one. So you can take the height, it clearly didn't help.... I'll take the athletes, foot speed, scheme, and awareness.

Couldn't be a worse defensive combo than Malik+Ballo, I don't think DDV alters his style of play, especially based on who we've signed.

I'm not sure why you'd think that. And Hawthorne doesn't see minutes on a good team.

I know. I'm talking realistically, not the generic, "everyone gets an opp" BS.... He wouldn't get on the court at either of those places THIS SEASON, same at Indiana. Bailey isn't playing the 4, but neither would Hawthorne, this season. And, for the 3rd time, I want Hawthorne.

We would beat them by probably 100. and dear god, one of them would have to guard Bailey and one of them would have to guard TDV on our offensive end? lol 3 > 2... You've watched the last 8 years of Indiana basketball, right?

Hawthorne will not be a contributor to a good team next season. Compete with Alexis? Alexis would stuff him in a trash can lol Hawthorne needs 20lbs+ of muscle, at least, before he does anything worthwhile on a basketball court. JMO But would love for him to come here and develop. If we add Wilkins and Hawthorne as the last two spots, I don't know how anyone could categorize our offseason as anything but an A.

I don't find it realistic what the poster is asking anyway.

Hawthorne makes a lot of sense. I hope he looks into RSing, but geeeshh... that would be a great pickup, I was a little surprised/bummed out we weren't mentioned earlier, but that could have been for a multitude of reasons, IMO.

Compare that to Biff Pohgees outfit. No I'm not looking up how to spell his name correctly.

I brought all this info here when we hired DDV and others were saying Bailey was auto-playing the 4. It was obvious then what DDV valued.

When a team loses their 1st/2nd best player and another Top 5 player? Hmm. ok

we don't have mins for another big.... that team, even without Stone was a T25 team, until TDV went down. It's really not comparable to show both teams' conference records... and if so, show how they did in the Bahamas.

It was reported she was visiting yesterday. I guess that info was wrong

shewwwwww weeeeee..... please please

Doing anything through Apple is so awful. I have no idea how my peacock acct was registered through Apple.

makes sense

Angel Reese is a moron. She makes 75-80k a year playing basketball that no one watches.

Well yeah? But, it seems he's not getting denied.

Where are there mins available to convince someone that could alleviate what you mentioned to come here? Not seeing that at all

lol.... thanks

I'm not quite sure why the JUCO years don't count
