I agree not ideal at all. But I really don’t believe BBV or Hawkins starts — and certainly not early on. I think both have talent and hope they both contribute next year, but Hawkins is a frosh and BBV will basically be. Certainly could give Giorgi a shot with another year to work on his game. The taller of the two transfers might be a possibility, but do they have the strength? BU often comments on how strong DMW is especially in his lower half. If Tev stays and is willing to accept his best shot of playing time is at the 4 and embraces, who knows. He is taller than DMW and could be a mismatch for opponents’ 4s on offensive end, but does he have strength for D and rebounding.
When your team concept is D and rebounding, I think BU will go with the player who he has the most confidence can supply that — even if it is an under sized DMW. I just don’t see BBV or Hawkins gaining BU’s confidence enough to start. Hope I’m wrong because even though I love what DMW brings to the table, like you said tough to ask him to do that for major minutes at the 4 game in and game out.
