A: That's been the thing about Hassan, just when you think that he is what he is, he offers another component that increases his value. Free throws? No longer concern. A one-dimensional offensive repertoire? Not with these mid-range jumpers. But even with the occasional assists, there still is concern about his ability to pass out of the post and his unwillingness to consider reposting for better inside position. There also is the question about his reluctance to step out on shooters while defending the pick-and-roll. But what is being overlooked is that Hassan, while somewhat middle-aged by NBA standards, is basically in his sophomore NBA season. And when you consider the growth curve to this stage, it would seem like there should be optimism about even more going forward. Look, there is absolutely nothing wrong with 19 and 19, regardless of whatever else is included in the package. And, heck, there were two -- two -- assists Friday against the 76ers. He's not getting as many assists and blocked shots.
