I agree on Hawthorne. I think he's a 3/4 (not ever a 2G though) that might play quite a bit of PF in a similar vein as Tayshaun Prince or Nate Ament - thin but long stretch 4s. My guess is he surprises some folks this year and plays a ton.

Now the question is whether Pope screws it all up in season, gets fired, and every one of them hit the portal after the year.
Yes…but he can create his own shot and make said shot. From anywhere. That kinda matters.
FFS. Elite post defense? Dear lord. I get literally everything you post is googled and AI’d, but Christ man…there’s not a thing about his “post defense” that was elite. Google or run through AI “defensive rebound efficiency”. Then get back to me. Moreno was fine in a lot of phases. Nothing special. Nothing crappy. Certainly nothing “elite”. If he’s your 4th or 5th best player, you’ve got something. If not, you’ve got Pope and a Pinto.
Yep that dude and poopoo are childrenLoser troll. Blocked
Surely you don't think you're ongoing troll job is fooling anyone over the age of 7.
Get back in the kitchen and make a sammich Mrs Potter.Yeah, if Kam or Hawthorne play the 2…just LOL at the turnovers and lack of offense.
If Hawthorne guards an SEC 4, this team will be worse defensively than Popes first two teams…and that would be an accomplishment.
Never underestimate his ability to screw something up. It comes natural to him.
No truer words were ever spoken. She was blonde, hot, and dumber than a brick…and had me by the balls for a couple yrs. And what a great two yrs they were!
I think so far it's:
PG: Diallo
SG: Kam Williams
SF: Stokes? TBD
PF: Freeman or Rancik
C: Moreno
6th Man: Wilkins. He can be a microwave scorer and come in for the 1 or the 2.

he's not a championship level player, which is what I thought we were trying to do here. he was an incredible embarrassment in March, I just watch games and form opinions. soft and slow player will continue to get eaten up by any good big we play.
Every single one of ytour posts is the worst possble scenario, lol.
Not for the Thunder, no, but for the majority of college basketball teams he is
We are not the majority of college basketball. Yeah he'd be fine at Ole Miss maybe, that's not the point.
If he gets Stokes and Freeman he will have the #1 overall recruiting class. Not sure about the sloppy seconds crap
Brother…Kam Williams can’t dribble. In no world is he a guard in the SEC.
I guess NBA GMs are clouded too since he will be a 1st round pick next year
Majority yes. Great ones, no. But that’s kinda where we are. Majority level “good”. Sigh.
If my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle.
Well, maybe not in 2026. Gotta be honest, not sure how all this stuff works today. Just pretend it’s 1998 when you read the first sentence.
My mom was a catrastophist as well. 105K posts and 12K likes. AVOID.
Good luck.

Kam backup shooting guardUpdated 4/18
Wilkins gives us a nice CG to play PG as well, and not put too much pressure on FR Williams!
G - Zoom, Williams
G - Wilkins, ?
F - Kam, Hawthorne, Noah
F - ?, ?
C - Moreno, ?, Potter
Freeman and Rancik would look good at the 4 to compliment Moreno.
I can't imagine Potter will be the backup C with little depth. Definitely need a Reibe there.
If somehow Stokes comes, that would have to move Kam as a 6th man role. Would Stokes play the point forward as a 4 man if Freeman doesn't come?
I don't care about your mom. I though we were talking about basketball not internet points, also you're retarded if you think this rinky dink website has been accurately keeping track of likes for 22 years.
Its not exactly a fantastic scenario dude. We are the outright favorite for Freeman and 50/50 on StokesIf my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle.

Hawthorne is probably a 3, but may be able to flex out to a 4 with the right matchup. I'd have to see a lot more before I will buy him playing at any other position. If he were able to handle well enough to play at the 2, it would be a matchup issue for other teams. Hawthorne has some legit length to him.
Were all the SEC 4s big bully monsters? Honestly I don't remember all of them, and I'm not going to claim that I wouldn't have any concern with Hawthorne always being paired up against a really strong physical PF. But my thought (admittedly taking the positive) is he can get by as a backup PF alright. He's got a ton of length and wingspan, and similar built guys like Prince and Nate Ament have gotten by "ok" defending the position. Honestly we just don't know, but I think we're going to find out because I just don't think he has the kind of body that can get muscularly thick.
