hahaha best response yet. I'll give Hayward credit. he showed up in the second half. I love me some Gordon "Babyface" Hayward, but Paul George would have commanded minutes from the get-go.

No he wouldn't have. If a young player could command minutes with this team Favors, Kanter, and Burks would have been playing the minutes they deserved last year and/or this year.

This is a win.

I hear from Corbin that he wants energy, desire and defense. Unfortunately all the players that have been getting 30+ minutes a night completely contradict that statement with the exception of one player, Hayward.













Boom!

yet haywards minutes are down
 
But in all seriousness, he was an average player on a bad team in a small conference. He was drafted on measurables. Gordon took a small team from a good small conference to a NC. I would have taken Gordon and still would take Gordon.

Though I would now probably prefer Gordon (don't see George play much really), to say he was an average player, as if nobody knew about him, is terribly inaccurate. Many on this board, myself included, had him pegged as our pick.

He wasn't an unknown, but I saw him play a few times and to say it looked like he didnt give a **** would be an understatement. Someone with his physical skill set and talent should have dominated the WAC. He didn't dominate the WAC by any stretch of the imagination.

Well I found it online somewhere. No Jazz players on the list, kinda disappointed after reading the first paragraph of the article:

"Some players are clearly drafted based on potential and are not yet ready to help a team. But there are also times when a player is ready to help, yet the team is not ready to play the player, perhaps because a stubborn coach trusts only veterans, or because veteran players are ahead of the rookie in the rotation. Either way, rooks who don't put up big numbers are not even remotely doomed to a career of obscurity."

It's about rookies this year... Did you want Kevin Murphy on that list or what?
 
I'm trying to imagine the Core Four all together on the court at the same time.

Yeah, a total pipe dream I know with the current head coach.
