Is the fact that Dawkins didn't recruit Tacko Fall a knock on Dawkins -- e.g., sure he did a whole lot better than Haase this season, but that's because he had a player that Haase wouldn't have been able to recruit and, hey, he wasn't even the guy who brought him in? Or, conversely, is it evidence of why, in fact, Dawkins is better than Haase -- as in, look what Dawkins was able to do this season even though he wasn't playing with "his guys"? After all, not yet having "his guys" seems to be the most common excuse for Haase on this Board.
To me it feels like more of the first one - we can't tell if Dawkins is better YET because his 2 top scorers were recruited by his predecessor, and after Tacko Fall graduates we'll get a better sense of the answer. But it seems like he's developed Fall well, and his predecessor's recruits have fit his system.
