Nonsense. He has a quick leap that allows him to throw it down even when in close proximity to the opponent. It may be the one time he is actually reliable as a finisher because he is more likely to miss a point-blank layup. I'm sorry, but you are wrong on this one. It's not nonsense. Hopkins is a horrible finisher when it comes to both dunks and layups (sometimes he gets stuffed early enough where it's not clear what he is trying to do). It's too bad Hoya Prospectus did not cover last season, because they used to keep those statistics. For the record, in 2012-2013 Hopkins was 7/12 on dunks (28/56 on layups) and I doubt his number was much better in 2013-2014. 7/12 is really bad. Hopkins is a true 3 let's get this straight now, he's sacrificed over the years to play in the post so he had to learn as he went along... he's struggled but has learn and did well last season as he could with Smith's departure...

Apologies. I think I accidentally was providing only the conference stats in my original post for certain years. Missed dunks:
2006-2007: 0 2007-2008: 0 2008-2009: 4 (2 Summers, 2 Freeman) 2009-2010: 3 2010-2011: 6 2011-2012: 8 2012-2013: 10
Obviously, that's not a good trend (especially considering there were often many more attempts in those early years than in the latter ones), but I think it also reflects that our frontcourt was great early on, and has been very weak in the last several seasons.
On Summers, HoyaProspectus still only shows 2 missed dunks (both in 2008-2009). They do say they get their information from play-by-play information, which was not available in all games, so that could account for any omissions.

The lost on D part is to be expected. The too slow on D part is what worries me more. Whose too slow on defense? Not White, don't let him fool you he's not slow by know means remember he's 6'9" ... He was talking about Reggie Cameron.

You know me to well! haha jk What matters is who finishes strong most of this team can start but everyone cannot start! Exactly my point… Crunchtime/last 5 minutes lineup is the one that matters...

I'm trying to settle this debate within myself: should I feel unfulfilled in life because I don't have an OFFICIAL MIXTAPE with a rap soundtrack and all the trimmings?
Like maybe, just a bunch of quotes from my old game recaps scrolling across the screen as UGK plays in the background at like 20 decibels higher than it should.

It should include at least one slo mo free throw.

Hop is a true 4, does not have the perimeter game nor the handle to be a 3 - but yes, he shouldered way too much of the burden at the 5 after Joshua messed up last year.
