Hood a better player than Hayward

Hood isnt close to Hayward now, but he is promising. I think both will very similar in skill level when its all said and done. But now its just projecting. Hayward played at an all star level this year.
Rodney turned a lot of heads when he was healthy. Cant wait for next year!

found the video of gsw commentator saying.

"mark my words...hes going to be a 20point scorer"
 
I love how all his points were off attacking moves. He wasn't sitting in the corner waiting for someone to create a shot for him. He wasn't settling for long shot attempts. He attacked off the P&R and all of his shots (minus the three) we going towards the basket. Even his three was off a P&R.

Love the aggressive game.
 
I love Hood. He's awesome and I think he'll have a great career. But appreciating him takes nothing away from Hayward's abilities.
 
A year from now most of you will see your follies. I call it the Boozer phenomenon there is always one player who os held to a higher esteem then he deserves. Hood is more solid as a rookie just saying.

I would agree with this statement. It's very unpopular to point out any flaws from Hayward around these parts though, I know this well. Good player, but definitely not the godly 1st scoring option in our team that many claim him to be.

I mean this year he might have been the leading scorer, but he wouldn't be it in a championship caliber team is what I'm trying to say. Unless we pretend to win it all the Spurs way, with no outstanding scoring superstar.

He's the 17th highest scoring player in the NBA this year without a true PG to create anything for him...exactly what were you expecting of our 1st scoring option? I think most people are aware of Hayward's flaws, but he's a very good player and he has been playing very well as our first option this year. That isn't debatable.
 
Everything is debatable in James' world. I didn't sign up to follow a main stream of ideas that has led us to not one championship ring. Think outside the box.

The 17th highest scorer, that puts 16 ahead of him. By the 4th/5th season I should have already seen the superstar status in him, this also being making who you play with better by your own means. Yeah with Westbrook or Curry he would probably look better I'll give you that...
 
The grudge I hold with Hayward is also about his attitude. He seems a bit soft mentally, physically he's aggresive and all attacking the rim at times. But he needs to show more passion given what is expected from him. I'd love to see how he reacts to a wet willie for the 2nd time...
