Interesting. Given the choice, would you sign Pierce to a one-year contract with a player option for year 2 or would you sign Hawes to the four-year deal we got him for since both required the mid-level exception? Personally, I'd still have stuck with the Hawes signing, but it's a shame we missed out on Pierce. However, would you sacrifice Bullock in order to dump Dudley for Evan Turner? That's a tougher call for me. Sounds like we missed out on a sign-and-trade scenario due to the Nets' unwillingness to participate.

Ben Bolch, Los Angeles Times (10/1/14)

"He was our best passer," said Coach Mike Kelly, whose team won the state title with Hawes continually distributing the ball out of the post. "He could have averaged 30 points a game and instead he made the kids around him better and we were a hell of a basketball team."
...

Hawes' gifts include the ability to space the floor with three-point shooting (career accuracy: 36.1%), score in bunches (he once dropped 30 points on the Lakers) and make the kinds of passes usually associated with players a foot shorter (he's logged nine assists in a game three times).

"His shooting is great, but his passing is better," Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said. "I mean, he just creates a lot of problems because you've got a five that's popping out to the three-point line and most teams' defense relies on their big clogging up the paint. Well, if they're standing in the paint and Spencer's standing out behind the three, that's hard to guard."
...

Hawes said he believes he was born with an innate court vision that has allowed him to thrive as a playmaker.

"It's one thing to be unselfish but it's another thing to be efficient and advanced as a passer," said University of Washington Coach Lorenzo Romar, who coached Hawes for one season before the Sacramento Kings selected him with the 10th pick in the 2007 draft. "Any time you have a guy his size who can pass the ball like that, it makes any offense better."
