This guys had a very underrated season, especially considering he's a 6'11" 250 pound guy. He's had a ton of 20/8 games against some of the PAC-10's best teams. He's had nagging injuries/been sick this year, if he goes to the draft he's a top 8 pick for sure.
It's nothing special to have big games against the sucky Pac-10 but, Hawes is a great offensive post player for a freshman, and he's a good passer out of the post for a big man..He could prob. use one more year in college.

He's already proven he can put up a lot of points in the paint...

And if he enters this year, he'll be in a stacked big man draft class which could lower his stock.. Plus he's on a young team that could have a great chance at being a very good team next year, if he stays.

He would have gone first round out of high school if it was allowed. He has good footwork around the basekt, he is a solid defensive player, and hes not a bad rebounder either. He will go high in the draft once he goes out, but IF he stays another year, I think he might go a little bit higher.
