James Hawthorne brings size, rim protection, and blue-collar value to Middle Tennessee
A 6-7 senior forward for Middle Tennessee, Hawthorne’s value shows up in the dirty work: in his latest season he averaged 7.8 points, a team-high 5.8 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 1.6 assists while shooting 53% from the field, pointing to a reliable interior presence who can rebound, protect the rim, and finish efficiently.[1][2] He profiles as a fit for teams that want a physical, low-usage frontcourt piece rather than a pure scorer, with enough versatility to contribute across the box score.[1][2]
