You have to play the cards you're dealt and HW was supposed to be a good shooter coming into college.. He's shook right now but if/when he hits a couple, I think it's reasonable that he can play 5-8 minutes per game as a body and only shoots if he's wide open.  I mean, it's not like he's taking shots away from Marius Janulis out there..

He has to play so our guards don't die from exhaustion and that means playing defense, passing the ball along the perimeter and being an outlet who will shoot the ball when wide open.

Beggers can't be choosers, let the kid do basic basketball things for a few minutes per game and don't freak out if he misses a 3 or doesn't adequately defend the 3 because friggin nobody else hits threes or defends them either.

The bigger worry for me is how to get Brissett a breather because a frontcourt of Moyer/Dolezaj/Chukwu has shenanigans written all over it.. basically have to throw the ball at the basket and hope they play volleyball off the backboard for a few minutes while Oshae rests.  Ideally HW can at least make a wide open 3 and we can move Battle to the 3 while resting Brissett.
