    Well I remembered reading in the Star a few days ago that one of Mitchell and Babcock made a statement of Hoff's lack of confidence. Took a guess as to which and I missed.

    Giving him a couple of 25-30 minute nights won't hurt, but what would hold him back is foul trouble. In the first quarter, Araujo can rack up two fouls in three minutes, then spend the other nine on the bench. It'll be hard to give him the continous playing time to let him build up his confidence, as he'll be getting breaks in between.

    I do think though that this will be the year that Araujo either takes a big step forward or loses his role on the team. With this year a learning season for the team, Araujo is bound to get minutes, and if he does well with the time given, we might finally see his maturation into a solid prospect.
