Hawthorne’s presence feels bigger than his listed size. He plays with strength, energy, and a willingness to do whatever is needed. He rebounds well for a guard, uses his body to finish through contact, and can score from both the mid-range and beyond the arc. He embraced physical play and even handled time in the frontcourt without hesitation. His work in the pick-and-roll stood out, and his stamina allowed him to maintain a high level of play throughout. A do-it-all guard.
