KOC, is that you?
When the sun comes up tomorrow, I'm a big Gordon Hayward Fan. That's the only way you can look at it. And you never know. We'll see how long it lasts.

I think we're all going to need to be big Fess/Kosta fans since they're currently our only players above 6'9"
Thats a little scary.

Did Okur shrink two inches from the injury?
Korver is a horrible defender, I will give him credit that he did the best with his physical abilities, but that doesnt change the fact his defense sucked. Hayward is a bigger and better athlete with just as high basketball IQ, no reason he shouldnt be a better defender than KK.
Rebounding. Um he is 6-8 and averaged 8 rebounds in College, he is a better rebounder than Korver.
I believe Okur will come back better than ever, and stronger than ever. Rehab from this injury will be by far the hardest work he's ever done, he may actually increase his vertical from 2.5 to 3".
Did you even bother checking Korver's college stats? Tell the truth the truth. Did you or didn't you? His rebounding average might surprise you. It's really not that much different than Hayward. As far as playmaking, what are you basing this on? College stats? Again, if you want to base things on college stats than be objective and use Korver's stats as well. Korver averaged DOUBLE Hayward's assists. As far as defense, both are lost causes in this aspect. As far as shooting and scoring, Korver beats Hayward in every single statistical category, especially 3 point %.
