Sounds like Hayward is soft. That's been his problem since he's been in the league. He still needs to get much stronger to reach his peak, but he must become much tougher on and off the court. Stockton and Malone never missed a game with an injury such as the one Hayward has now, and neither one of them would have let Delonte West stick his finger in their ear as he did last year without trying to rip his head off.
I'm fine with Hayward sitting out and not risking further damage just because the Jazz are dead in the water without a point guard and with Corbin still at the helm.
