But considering how much experience he's gained since taking over as the starting center, could he be serviceable or better as a guard? Like, is guard easier or harder. I know it's definitely different, but just curious as to how well (or not) Hopkins could do at guard.
In any event, if we do get a new center (fingers crossed), I think we still keep Hopkins as a backup.
Mentally, Guard is easier. Physically, you need to be able to move large, aggressive men off the ball. Hopkins is not good at moving large players off the ball.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
