Do you think JJ Hickson is hustling?

JJ Hickson, a player known for his hustle, is really getting after it. Yes or no?

Just remember -I know this is overdone, but I really want to stress the point - isn't JJ Hickson known for his hustle? This cuts right to the heart of it. He's there late in games when the score is flipping against us.

Do you REALLY feel like you believe, in your heart, regardless of offensive or defensive schemes of Shaw, that Hickson is hustling, defending, diving (within reason), scratching, clawing, etc. to hold onto these leads?

Sure Hickson hustles, that is not the problem, the problem is that he hustles to ensure that he fills the stat sheet and does not worry too much about defense nor about making the right play on offense.

Then it raises so many questions as to why he was plugged into this team in the first place. Size? Sturdier body type? What use is a powerful frame if it not used?

Because we has a front office that thinks they understand advanced stats making their decisions on stats like win share which is based on a stat sheet while ignoring things like plus/minus, not to mention the eye test.
