How good of a backcourt is Mitchell/Hawkins?

Not sure I agree that they need a nickname but they are looking like two really nice pickups from the portal. Need them both to stay healthy but if they do they have the potential to form a really nice duo.

I know I said they don't need a nickname but that's not bad.

Major upgrade in the back court over last year. Dish and Drain is very clever, I like it!

Wait a minute, there. You don’t strike me as one with irrational exuberance.

I’m joking. But this backcourt is a nice change from the past few years.

Guards are the most important players on a basketball team. The straws that stir the drink. Especially the point guard.

What is fun is really seeing them settling into the Big Ten and their roles on this team. Mitchell is a heck of an offensive player and Hawkins has shown a real willingness to distribute the ball but also take the big shot when needed. Both are clearly getting better and that is exciting.

Bigger guards may prove problematic at times but it definitely seems like our backcourt is going to be one of the strongest parts of the team.
