What do we want each player to work on?

Hood. Explosion
Exum. Handles
Hayward. Demand the ball
Favors. Footwork
Gobert. Strength, coordination
Lyles. Floor game, aggression
Burks. Defense
Mack, Neto. Passing
 
Other Stats:

We run the dribble hand-off way too much with Hayward. He isn't good at it and he gets the 3rd most in the NBA. (48th percentile)

Hood gets teh 10th most in the NBA and is a lot better on this play than Hayward. (68th percentile).

Even though Trey Burke didnt play a lot of minutes, he had the 16th most dribble hand-offs ran for him and he was just as average as Hayward (50th percentile).

We obviously seem to be running this play way too much. All 3 of Hayward/Hood/Burke turn the ball over at a high rate in these plays. Hood's saving grace in these plays is that he shoots the 3 well out of it, so we should keep that play open for him. Hayward has no business running it though, he doesnt even get to the FT line at a high rate out of this play, which is rare for Hayward.
 
Rudy Gobert has 172 possessions labeled as "cut", obviously cutting to the rim. He has the highest TO% in these plays for anyone with over 100 such possessions. The two other bigs who are close are John Henson and Jordan Hill, who are about a percentage point lower.

The dribble handoff (especially when rudy is standing at the three point line and doing a dribble handoff) gots-ta-go! I hate it

Combine these posts of yours and it tells me that rudy doing a dribble handoff to Gordon and cutting to the rim is like the worst play we could run. Yet it also might be the play we run the most.

As good as Gobert is, his poor "hands" really hurt anything the Jazz want to do on offense. If Gobert had a respectable 10 foot shot and could catch a pass without losing it the Jazz could, Could be really good.
Favors is a really good player, I doubt he'll ever be an allstar. He is what he is. He'll get a bit better with his shot but hes not a "Killer"
Hayward is probably peaking right now. He isn't the guy you go to if you want to do anything in the Playoffs.
Hood just needs to get stronger. I think this guy has the tools to be what Hayward can't be.
Exum needs to do a ton. First is to get stronger. I doubt he has a chance to be anything other then a defensive juggernaut.
On the bench, Trey Lyles just needs to polish everything, he is the one guy who I'd say actually improved as the season went on.
Neto, Burke, Mack. Might as well trade any of them. They are all ok but nothing more then botttom of the bench guys.
Burks. If I was Utah i'd just trade him. The guy plays too reckless and puts himself in bad positions and gets hurt.
Pretty much everyone else should be let go, cut or traded.

So people have actual stats, not just "Remember that one time he got blocked? he sucks at posting up".

According to the stats, he is the 52.7% percentile on post-up efficiency. So he is a very average post player, but he hardly ever post-up (he actually has the 14th lowest post-up frequency of his possessions. The only SF with a lower frequency is Otto Porter (Aminu is tied with Hayward) I just don't think it's a very reliable thing in Utah's offense with Favors/Gobert. Maybe it's something he could get better with if he plays with Lyles more.

The one clear positive about Hayward's post up game is that he actually does draw FT trips out of his post-ups at a high rate compared to the rest of the league and he turns the ball over at an extremely low rate compared to the rest of the league out of his post-ups.

So... your stats show that I was right. Hayward has plenty of room to improve in his post up game. He rarely went to it, which means it is not a consistent weapon. But as a 6'8, 235lb small forward, it could be a very deadly weapon for him. I loved the idea of running a pick and roll and getting the switch so he had Tony Parker guarding him. The only problem, is that he couldn't take advantage of it. Once he can take advantage of it, he'll take his game to another level.
