I originally picked thompson over hawes becasue he had a monster preseason. I basically need help in blocks and rebounds! please advise!

I was high on Thompson before the season started but my expectations have been tempered. I think Hawes is the better long term bet for blocks and probably rebounds. I'm afraid Cassipi is going to start getting some of Thompson's time.

I'd go with Hawes, although I think Thompson is the safer pick. Hawes will have games where he gives you some sexy numbers. He can block shots, dish out assists and hit some threes. You're going to get more rebounds from Thompson in the long run, but Hawes' C eligibility and ability to put up numbers other areas gives him the edge in my view.
