Hayward an Allstar?

He can hit more threes if spacing improves so I on the contrary expect his ppg to rise.

And remember kids, if you ever use Jazzfanz App, use it safe.
True but I don't know how much better spacing will be. Favors and Gobert will still be spending a lot of time on the court with hayward like last year. I think we will still have a slow pace and defensive minded team. Plus I think his minutes and shot attempts both will decrease.

I think he will be more efficient and quite possibly better than last year but his points per game will go down.

Well I mean even the signed vets Hill, Johnson and Diaw gives you 10 times the spacing than Sap-2, Burke, Ingles, Booker can give right?

Hopefully coaches dont vote in the big 4 of GSW to All-Star and All-1st/2nd teams. That would be a way to discourage these super teams, if one guy gets left out of all the accolades.

Good point and I agree. But I think there is not much chance of us getting our wish.
 
Probably not. I think Klay could get left out though.

I hope Klay and Draymond get left in the cold. Easiest way to promote discord is to have Durant bump both Green and Thompson out of the limelight. Then, complaints become public and any failures become magnified. I hope KD's experience in Oakland is miserable.

Jazz have the best young front court in the league. I hope like hell that Gobert, Favors and Hayward all come out with chips on their shoulders to prove themselves. Be the underdog, but go out there and play like they did to finish off the season two years ago. Do that, and the accolades will follow.
 
If Green gets ignored, he'll just punch someone in the groin. I could see Draymond becoming a problem for the W's.
 
Think about it. Hayward averaged 19.7 pts a game last year. At the end of games, you take the ball out of Hayward's hands and put it in Hill's. Now you run pick and roll with Hill and Favors. Hayward camps out on the corner three. A quick P&R, a couple swing passes, and instead of a TO Hayward gets a wide open three in the corner.

Now he is averaging 23 pts a game. You do this twice a game and Hayward is averaging 23-25 pts a game.

I think Hayward is a max player and he is our best player and it's not close. I think that now that's he's not playing PG this year, he will appear even better. Just 1-2 plays a game can take him from 19.7 pts to 23-25.

I think Hayward playing time might diminish a little, due to the logjam at the wings. Plus, with the extra offensive firepower brought by Hill and Johnson, Hayward usage rate may also drop a little. Thus, he is probably going to average less points per game, not more - I would bet around 18. He might end up being an all-star, though, if the Jazz have a very good record - like a top 3 seed in the West - and he is their leading scorer. I think that kind of record would probably provide a chance for Gobert to be in the All-Star game also, but he would have to average at least 12 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, and not miss many contests.

My thoughts exactly
 
It will happen. And on that day I will call out Mission Accomplished to request a self ban, as per his assertion that it would never happen.

It's more about that, than recognition for one of our Jazz players really.

Except Hayward isn't a very good 3pt shooter (35% last year) I'd rather see Hill or Hood taking that 3.

Paying a career 44%/36% shooter who doesn't take over games and can't create his own shots $30m+ is ridiculous. It will be a huge mistake because it will cost the Jazz another starter and/or decent subs to pay a non-star a franchise-player's salary.

0 chance Green gets "left in the cold" he gets his stats by doing everything but scoring.

If it's anyone it's Klay because he will be even more of a spot up shooter and have less assist/ft attempts. Thought he might just be so amazing at shooting spot up 3's that he still scores 22+ ppg.
