The Gordon Hayward mistake has screwed the Jazz for years to come

cyclo said:
Only in Utah would skin color be an issue when it comes to drafting and it was when the Jazz drafted Gordon Hayward (#9) one pick before NBA all-star Paul George (#10).

They play the same positions. SG and SF.

George was/is bigger, taller, longer, more skilled, more athletic and more talented.

Hayward looks like a Mormon choir boy.

Easy choice for the Jazz. You go with the Mormon choir boy.

3 years later...

One player becomes an NBA all-star. The other player is the definition of NBA mediocrity.

Doooooood. You suck. Also, Hayward is very good. And Paul George was shorter than hayseed at draft time. Plus Hayward had just had a great run in the tourney. George was not as impressive before he grew four inches out of nowhere

...yeah, but the Jazz had to take into consideration "character!" You don't know if George is going to get busted for drugs, domestic violence or even die from tattoo ink poisoning!

True dat. But they better have injury insurance for Gordon. He's likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome from playing so many video games, thus ending his basketball career.
 
Gordon was absolutely dreadful in his return. Better trade him for whatever we can get; he's clearly a bust as the OP noted.
 
This is just a Clippers fan trying to get us to believe Hayward sucks so they can get Milsap + Hayward for Bledsoe.

Seemed to backfire. I'm going to go to a Clippers board and do the opposite to try to force a trade.

BeastlyBledsoe will be my username.

We need a troll army from this site.
I also want someone to convince Minnesota that Rubio sucks.
 
I was going to go the opposite direction and pull a HeavenHarris just to make them hate Bledsoe. I swear, HH did that way more than Harris mediocre play.
