Spencer Hawes: Go back to school

http://www.aolsportsblog.com/2007/05/23/spencer-hawes-is-a-top-10-pick-really/

Spencer Hawes was one of the most sought after recruits in the nation two years ago. After 1 disappointing (for the team, and somewhat for him) year at Washington, the 7 footer is being projected as a lottery pick. I think this is 2 year too early for Hawes, who only averaged 14.9 ppg in the small ball Pac-10. He should've stayed two more years and developed, and actually contribute something to Washington before he jumped, but NBA GM's are dumb enough to hype him up and make him a top 10 pick.
