Excited for Hayward

[asian_roger]

My favorite thing about Hayward is his inner fire. If he sucks offensively, he makes some great plays for his teammates or goes total beast mode in defense. Remember when he owned Kobe last year and people were calling him the white mamba haha

Hayward is by no means the archetype for a star in this league. I don't blame anyone for being shocked by his selection in the draft. I fell into that trap too, but even then I knew that management must had seen something in his workouts. He has obviously shown that he belongs and the next step is to prove he can be a star through consistency. If people still think he hasn't proved anything, I would neg rep if you're so inclined. But I wouldn't fault anyone for their initial impressions of the guy.

I think it is wrong to neg rep them for having a wrong initial opinion of the guy. Are they still talking down about him? If so then maybe.

I just am not a fan of neg repping for a difference of opinion. Differences of opinion are ok. They are not bad things to have.

Good input. Thanks.

Good input. Thanks.

Wrong may have been a little strong of a word but I think you got the point. Live and let live...

Now you're just starting to sound like a hippie.

I didn't want Hayward or George (primarily level of competition). I wanted Xavier.

Henry and George were the players I had highest after Monroe was taken. I was also intrigued by Whiteside and hoped Utah could trade up to get him late first/early second.

I will congratulate myself on absoluting hating Aldrich and Babbitt. But, like most others not named honz (or KOC), I was dead wrong on Hayward.
