I believe it has been said on this blog before, but I wouldn't care if he spoke Cantonese, Chinese, or Pig Latin for that matter as long as he keeps hooping it up the way he has! It's not really important his ROOKIE year how well he speaks. I am sure if he keeps playing the way he has, he will have ample time to practice on his diction. In fact, I am sure he will be able to brush up on his acceptance speech for the R.O.Y. presentation. Somebody please get that man a teleprompter!! If it's good enough for the President, it'll be just fine for 'REKE !!!
p.s. sactownfan....PURE FAIL?? I mean shucks, I'm as hard on Hawes as anyone on this blog, but PURE FAIL is harsh. At least He's trying. You can see there is effort. PURE FAIL would be riding the pine because of a total lack of effort (like Sean May). I'd be the first to say that Hawes is on the precipice of being a total bust, but to say he is "PURE FAIL" is to say there is no hope at all for him.
I'm not a Hawes apologist, but Centers and Point Guards usually take longer to develop in the NBA. If Hawes was still in college, he's be a senior this year. He hasn't physically developed as a MAN yet. He hasn't even stopped growing yet, if you can believe that! He needs to hit the weight pile non stop for the next few years and add 25-35 lbs of muscle upper and lower body to compete in the NBA. He is just TOO THIN to WIN. If he were to get a decent trainer and really get after it and hit the weights, he could easily become a Chris Kaman type of player. But he needs to put in a LOT more work to get to that level. He hasn't shown that level of commitment yet, but there is still time for this kid to pull his near death career outta the gutter. BUT you have to give the Kid a year or 2 more before tossing him into the "PURE FAIL" pile! I mean he can barely even buy a freekin beer for crying out loud! The next year or 2 will be the make or break years for Spencer Hawes. Personally, I dont believe he has the intestinal fortitude to do it. I believe he is going to be a bust, but I wont put him in the "PURE FAIL" (aka in no particular order... Michael Olowokandi, Darko Milicic, Kwame Brown, Stromile Swift, Jonathan Bender, Nikoloz Tskitishvili, Sam Bowie, Jon Koncak, CHRIS WASHBURN, LaRUE MARTIN, Adonal Foyle, Ed O'Bannon, Joe Kline, Kent Benson, Rick Robey, Robert Traylor, Rafael Araujo, Bill Garnett, the entire 2000 lottery class, and apparently Greg Oden) dumpster just YET IMHO.
