The "Early-oop" has to be the DUMBEST nickname for such a sweet play in the history of the NBA. Cant those morans, boller and harpring, have boone call hot rod or something and get him to give them some good material for once. I'm sick of those buffoons blabbing on about "rookie (commentator) of the year" and "green" or "red" or whatever color M&Ms Raja eats when he has ONE good shooting night out of 50 nights...or, my favorite part, when harp reads that dumb *** intellibed "promo" and boller HAS to comment on if it was up to par for 5 minutes while the Jazz go from up 7 to down 14 in a matter of 2 minutes....

FUUUUUhhH! I blame this crappy year on those freakin' jackpotters more than I do DWill and Sloan leaving!

Hey, bet you didn't know Favors is only 19 and came over in a blockbuster deal that sent Williams to New Jersey.

Sure its not "Earl oop"? That would make some sense. Cant believe there are still players in the league who dont know that is what Evans does.

I agree.
All the rookies should be getting 30+ minutes from here on out..... and they should be given the green light.

The games will be so much more entertaining with all the young kids out there. The season is over, lets have some fun! This lets Millsap rest and heal up from his injuries. Hell, you might as well DNP AK47 at this point.
 
Who was it that wanted Luke Babbit again? 1/11, gross.

I think the "real" top three-point shooters of this draft class are Gary Neal and Landry Fields. I think Hayward would round out the top three if he got more time. It isn't that he isn't a better shooter than those guys, it is just that those guys have gotten a lot more playing time and proven they can do it night in and night out.
 
The thing I loved about Hayward from college is that he can create his own shot.. we haven't really seen much of that in Utah. There are times where I wish he would isolate a little bit.. he's much more versatile than he's showed us so far.
 
This is easy to explain.

Gordon Hayward recently got hot. He has made 8 out of his last 9 three pointers (one game he was 5-5) The entire season he has made a total of 21. This means that three weeks ago, Gordon Hayward was 13 of 37, or 35.1%

"The problem arises when people use statistics like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support instead of illumination."

Gordon is a decent 3 point shooter. I'd still take Landry Fields, Gary Neal or Wesley Johnson over him (if we are just talking about shooting 3's.) For total # of 3 pointers made, Hayward is 9th.

"Recently got hot"...this is not a CJ streak we are seeing. He has been hot for a few months: Via @lockedonsports after the Houston game on Sunday:

Gordon Hayward just hit a three and since Dec 1st is 18 of 36 from three - that is 50%

He then went 2 for 2 last game making it 20 of 38 since Dec 1st. I'll take a three month long streak shooter over a player that doesn't even start a hot streak. The kid has upped his game and shows a lot of potential. I'm happy with the pick.
 
I'm not saying I don't like him, but 20 three pointers in three months isn't that many. David Locke is a master of manipulating statistics. And the fact that in the past two weeks Hayward has made 8 of 9 three pointers really pads that 20-38. Before it was only 12 of 31 (38 percent, which is decent, but 12 three pointers isn't fantastic.)

Gordon Hayward has been an okay three point shooter this year, but he's not fantastic.

I would rather see Hayward shoot the 3 than CJ right now.

There have been 50 games since Dec 1. You call 18 three pointers in 50 games good?
