Just added an updated interview with Caden Hawkins today. Here are the others we have done to this point. Will keep adding these before we get to the Summer Access period.

Yeh he's going to be a really good player for us. Just got better and better as the season went on. Sure glad he's back.

Sykes could be a really critical piece this year, though still hoping for an addition to provide more options at the 3 and 4 spots. He mentioned wanting to be a three-level scorer, but hard to buy that, as his shot is funky. If he can lock in defensively, rebound and chip in 7-8 ppg, that would be a step forward.

Still kinda wild that he had the biggest basket of the season considering he spent much of it in the doghouse or at least playing sporadically.

I like Sykes and think he can play valuable minutes. He is an outstanding rebounder and very athletic. He shot 53% from the field last year. He also has the ability to be a + defender. He plays mostly the 4, but I think he is athletic and quick enough to play the 3 at times also.

However, if we don't sign another player who plays the 4 I think Rolyns Aligbe may have to log serious minutes at that position next year. If that's the case he needs to seriously develop and improve over the summer & fall. He definitely has the skill and athleticism to be a good 4, but played almost exclusively at the 5 last year..

Just finished watching Jalen's interview. I really like this kid! He seems confident, but not cocky, and just a happy go lucky.kid. Looking forward to seeing him this season.

It would be nice if either Haynes or Hawkins could provide decent backup minutes at PG so that they don’t have to play someone out of position when House rests. His size at the PG spot is a definite plus.
