Hawkins was never expected to be a leading scorer or more than a role player who might find his niche at Kentucky.
If Hawkins' time at Kentucky is viewed in that light, as it should be, then he's had a pretty successful career in Lexington. And it's not as though he's been irrelevant. Far from it. From his contributions during Kentucky's improbable 2014 run to the national championship game through his timely three-pointers against Louisville last year, Hawkins has had plenty of opportunities to make a difference, even as more talented players and higher-ranked recruits have cycled in and out of the program.
Last year Calipari said, of Hawkins, that he knows what he's getting when he's on the court. That's always been true, and it'll be true again. For a program with so few constants except change, one more reliable constant is helpful.
