I honestly feel that UNCW would be better playing smaller at times with Sims at the 4 since he has so many tools. It's about efficiency folks. Stats are telling and you simply need guys that are versatile offensively, defend, rebound and last but not least, have at least an even or better assist to TO ratio.

Hoops is about winning smaller battles inside the game. Teams are shooting about 2% better this year from the floor with a weighted percent via the 3 making the differential higher. Bottom line is that if the Hawks are losing by 4 point per game, less TO's are critical and, of course, better defense. The guys that play team ball on both ends and play smart and hard should be the guys that play next year. Sims is one of them for sure (whether the 3 or 4), Estime has looked better to me lately showing more confidence and better play, Toews is a given, as well as Gadsden you would think. Cylla has to become more consistent to be a lock at this point. When he's good and hitting, he can help you but otherwise, not so much-needs to embrace the finer points and be tough.

The 2 recruits are winners and reputably play HARD. I like that! We need winners and we need toughness. May the best man win their postions at least to start games. And, if you don't like it, earn it back. Hawks should have enough talent and experience to win more next year and if not, there's a problem.
