Interesting read - thanks for the post. Hayward is one of the more intriguing draft picks we have had in the past few years - a lot of discussion, disappointment, fear, excitement, curiosity, hope - the full range.

On a side note: who wins 3 on 3? Boozer, Korver, Matthews vs. Jefferson, Hayward, Bell?

I remember I was gonna post that article but something they said in there pissed me off I forget what lol

Boozer struggles against players that have length on him (KG, Pau, etc). AJ + 5 pts
Korver can't handle the ball for ****. Hayward can. PUSH
Matthews has size on Bell.

Hmm. Let's go to the tape:

The clear answer to this. Is there is absolutly no chance in hell Boozer can defend Jefferson down low

Would Boozer be able to stop Jefferson even once? Bell would shut down Matthews. I'd give Korver the edge over Hayward for now. But give Flash a couple months of NBA experience and I think that completely reverses itself.

No, on second thought, I'd call it a draw. Korver needs to come off a screen or get the ball kicked out to him in the corner. Hayward showed in the OSL that he has some skills in taking the ball to the hoop. I think he could get around Kyle.

Hayward could get around Kyle at will, then one of two things would happen:

Boozer would rotate and meet him at the basket and either block his shot or go enforcer-style and put him on the floor.
OR...
Hayward would score repeatedly. Boozer would point at Al Jefferson (even if he was standing 40 feet from the basket) and say "I had my guy."

.....Heyward and Bell are smarter than Korver and Mathews.....Jefferson would dominate Boozer in the post. On a "make it"...."take it" pick up game? Heyward boys 21......Boozer clowns 12.

I would see Boozer and Jefferson as a wash as they both could score easily. Bell could shutdown Matthews but neither would be scoring a lot. So it would come down to the fact the Hayward can run a pick and roll with Jefferson effectively. Korver and Matthews don't hand the ball well enough to create.

Thanks for the laugh.
Monte, I think I'll go with Door #2.

Boozer may not be able to shut down AL, but he also won't have any problem scoring down low on him. Korver at this point beats hayward especially if they are playing 3 on 3. Matthews beats bell because he's younger moves better and Bell is 40 with a wrist injury.
