The question is why isn't he getting more targets?
Maybe he's just not getting open?

No, he gets open, he simply isn't in on the kind of downs/plays/sets where he is going to be a target.
The coaches thinking seems to be..."Want to run a bubble screen? Swing Pass? Put Hemingway out on that side!" And that is it.
I am not saying Hemingway is all pro or any such nonsense, I am just wondering where the disconnect is. It is NOT because he fails to get open. He is rarely ASKED to get open.
