How can people even think he is going to average 15+ PPG? He will be what the 4th option most the time? Even with AK not coming back and him sliding into that role AK was the 4th or 5th option. We don't have a dominant scorer (I hope maybe Jefferson proves me wrong here) and there is too many scoring options. That is a good thing and a bad thing.
If Hayward averages 15 points per game then we better be averaging 110 points on a nightly basis.
I would be happy with 10-12 PPG
I can see us having 6 (5 last year) players averaging in double figures though.
It's not at all out of the question to think he can average around 15ppg. Considering by the end of the year he was a lot higher an option then 4th like you say.
Last season CJ averaged almost 13 ppg, AK almost 12ppg, and freaking Raja Bell 8ppg. If the end of the season last year was any indication then he will be playing over all of them plus AK will most likely not even be here.
Hayward will have plenty of opportunities too score. He will be the one with the ball in hand he will run this offense from the sf position he will become the team leader he will at some point be the #1 option he will work the pick and role the curl spot up from three get to the foul line, set up Millsap, Favors, and Jefferson.
I said in another thread, Hayward will be a star for the Jazz.
You got my reasons why I think Hayward will be a star. All you have to offer up is he is just another Miller or Dunleavy, way to bring it. Sounds more the bias opinion that you get from that guy on sports nation on Espn.Ore he is just another Mike Miller/ Mike Dunleavy. Not saying that is bad, but he will not be a star. If he could actually have his prime be extended versions of the peaks of those two player's careers, I would be stoked.
I think in coach Ty's offense Hayward will have the ball in his hands a lot. He will be our playmaker he seems to no how to draw fouls and gets to the line a lot. He will be our closer. I just hope his inconsistent foul shooting was a rookie thing. I see him having plenty of opportunities to score. I say 20 points a game.
