Ha. They misspelled Hayward's last name (Haywood). Pretty sad that everyone is so down on Hayward from a national standpoint, or at least it often seems that way. Dude is a stud. Also, we received a D+ overall and our bench got an F. Think our bench will be better than people think.

"The Jazz didn't find deals pleasing enough to trade Jefferson or Millsap last season and lost both during free agency for nothing. The only apparent hope here is to be in the mix for the No. 1 pick. This summer's first-rounder Burke had a rough initiation during summer league, which didn't inspire great confidence.
Not only did scoring and rebounding walk out the door with Jefferson and Millsap, but so did veteran leadership, for whatever that was worth for a team that faded down the stretch and missed the playoffs. With a potential starting five of Burke, Burks, Haywood, Favors and Kanter, and little behind them, expect the Jazz to hit a sour note."
