I have always been of the mindset that He won't ever be an All-Star. However, Consider that Steve Nash started his career as a player that you never would have thought would become an all-star, let alone an MVP. There might be something to be said about Gordon Hayward becoming an All-Star at some point. If Gordon ever gets to the point where he can create his own shot and shot well off teh dribble, he will certainly be an All-Star. I think that is what is separating him from being a 2nd teir scorer in the NBA. Right now he is a 3rd year Scorer and he is super close to moving into the 2nd tier, but first he has to learn to shoot of the dribble better. Regardless of if he does or not, His set shot is becoming elite. Since December 1st, he has the 4th highest 3pt % in the league! quite a large sample size. That is sick and Overall I am impressed with Hayward and I think that even if he remains a 3rd tier scorer in the league, i imagine his assist numbers will go up and if the Jazz are a legit team, he could make an All-star team in that situation, especially because if the system gets right and we get a solid PG, Gordon will likely put up aroudn 18 PPG. Also, he socred 25 points and had 6 assist and 5 boards last night and did it efficiently; no small feat. What do you think? Discuss.

He has the skills to be able to make it, but I'm not sure he ever will. While he is capable of putting up those 25, 5 and 5 games, how often is going to be doing that? When I see his skill-set and his style of play, I picture him averaging anywhere from 14-16 ppg, 4-5 rpg and 3-5 apg. Nice numbers certainly, but not necessarily All-Star numbers.
 
Yeah. Get rid of al and he will score 18 a game and get four assists and four rebounds. All star material right there
 
Honestly, I think Kanter, Favors, and Hayward are going to be really good in their prime. That said, all we need is a solid PG. If we can land a solid PG, we will be set (Just imagine if we had landed Lillard... I smile at the Idea. We'd be so set, but it would be hard to keep all 4 guys had that happened because it does look like KAnter and Lillard will be MAX guys in their prime.)

His consistency is picking up as of late, and after all the doubt I put into Haywerd I'm starting to feel that this will be the next man to have a statue in front of the ESA.

I'm going on the brink of saying next year will be Gordon's first 20+ ppg year. No Al and no Sap?

I wish life was like Click, I'm ready to hit FF man.

I'm not sure if Hayward will be a perennial all-star, but I can see him being an all-star a few times.

I think it all depends on his drive, and seeing that he's improved all 3 years in the league I can see him even being a perennial all-star.

He's a good ole boy, ain't no time to party or nun.

Fire Mark Cuban.
 
Plenty of us have stated in the past that whether Hayward would play on an All-Star level depended on whether he could ever get consistent with his outside shot (partially because it opens up the rest of his game) and this season he's clearly made strides with his shot (he's now shooting 42% from 3 on the season).

The fact that he gets to the line as much as he does suggests he can create his own shot. He can shoot on the move, but it's limited as he can only do it from 15 feet out and in, which is why I said in another post he needs to get stronger

his numbers for the year are close to this now at 14 3 3 now as primarily a backup, and he still hasn't hit his full potential.

Paul George a first time Allstar is getting similar numbers, they are better, but he also gets well over thirty minutes a game where as Hayward gets less then 30 for the year. Just stop acting like you know what your talking about. George is a much better rebounder and ft shooter. Hayward gets to the ft line more, is a better playmaker and outside shooter, and better shot creator. If we had drafted George over Hayward and Ind. Had drafted Hayward he'd be an Allstar with George struggling to get minutes from off the bench.

End of thread.
 
honestly with the inconsistent minutes and having to take a seat to vets ... I'm amazed at how fast he as developed ... I can see him averaging low 20's per game if he tunes his game up and continues to add a little muscle and upper body strength. I think we can all see his value

Like I said, he has the potential to do it, but I'm not sure that he ever will. I love Hayward's skill-set. I love that he can take over a game when he's feeling it, and the fact that when he's not, will do all the other little things that need to be done to win a game. He's one of my favorite players in the NBA. Just because I said I don't necessarily think he'll make the All-Star team doesn't mean that I don't like his game, it just means that I want to see him be more consistent than he is right now. He has the skills to put up the stats to make it, but that isn't exactly who he is as a player. He doesn't give a damn if he doesn't score as long as we win, and that's why I don't think he'll always put up the big numbers that get players to the All-Star game, yet he can still be an impact player.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm acting smug, or like I know what I'm talking about. I really don't. I'm just a fan of basketball, I watch it when I can. Just putting in my view point when I see fit, sorry if that offended you in some way.
 
I doubt he'll ever make it from the fan-vote, but I can easily see him being voted in by the coaches. Opposing coaches always have great things to say about Gordo.
