If Hayward plays as a SG, he could definitely develop into a stud. Don't see him as a stud at SF, though. Still a good player, just not a stud. If Evans can develop into a decent SF, which I think he has the attributes to do, we would be deep at every position.
PG Harris, Watson, Burks
SG Hayward, Burks, Bell
SF Miles, Evans, Hayward
PF Favors, Millsap, Evans
C Jefferson, Okur, Kanter

I don't think whether or not he starts at SF or SG is going to have that big of an impact on his career.
So you aren't so high on hayward?
I am high on Hayward. I was saying I don't think his position (SG or SF) will have that big of an impact on his career. The person I quoted said something along the lines of "Hayward will be a stud at SG but not at SF". I think he will be the same player regardless of which of those two positions he plays.

I think there was news over the offseason that Miles is training on being utilized more as a SG. So either we sign an SF or either Evans or Hayward will be starting at SF according to your interpretation of the rotation of our players. I think towards the end of the season we could see Harris Hayward Millsap Favors and Jefferson (depending on whether Millsap chooses to become either an SF or not) or it could be Harris Miles Hayward Millsap Jefferson, or Harris Burks Hayward Favors Jefferson, or even Harris Bell Veteran FA SF and then Millsap and Jefferson. Our lineup is completely up for grabs, I dont see the point in trying to cement one as of this point because so many things can happen.

As far as who will be the best out of Burks, Hayward, Favors, or Kanter, I think you might as well throw at a dart board to determine it. If Burks gets his shot down, he obviously is going to be really good. Hayward has already shown glimpses of all star caliber play. Favors has his elite size and athleticism going for him. Kanter has dominated at every level including the Eurobasket taking age into account.

Exactly. Way to early to try and determine who should get how many minutes.

Not even close. We all knew Brewer could never fix his shot. With that injury, he cannot get proper rotation. Burks' problems have been more about shot selection and feeling like he has to throw it up every time he touches the ball. In that respect, I hope he doesn't come in and emulate Morris Almond. I'd really like to see Hayward slide in to the starting SG spot and create size mismatches. That will depend on his defensive capabilities, though. If that happens, Burks becomes our Corey Maggette off the bench. And then the Jazz draft or sign a starting SF.
I'm the highest on Favors and hope Kanter can be an impact player. Evans? He's a backup at best. But I do like his attitude.

The more versatile we are, the better. With all the switching that goes on defensively, players need to be able to handle multiple positions for us to ever develop a decent defense. If Hayward can bulk up, which he should be able to, he might be fine at SF.
Last year he showed flashes of greatness at SG both offensively and defensively, not so much at SF, where he's a bit light. CJ is already bulked, but needs to develop better lateral movement to be a good SG. Great if he can do it!

I've watched the highlights from Colorado's NIT games, and I'd really like to see Burks run the point a little bit this season. Yes, he likes to shoot more often than he should, but he seems to have really good vision on the court, and has a knack for making the right pass (again, based on highlights). He has the length, athleticism and rebounding ability to be a real mismatch at the 1 as well.
Ah ok, but i agree with the other guy, if he creates more consistency in his shooting, he can be a stud in SG because first of all he has a physical advantage. But as a SF he is a little weak against stronger guys, especially in the defensive end it would bring him a lot of advantage as a SG.
