Not sure what you are referring to, but Gordon is a good complementary player. You may be the only one who believes that others think he is a star. No one here believes that anymore.

Define "good."

I don't think a good playoff team can win with him starting.

His shot is too inconsistent and he's just too soft.

Nearly sub .400 percent FG and nearly sub .300 percent 3 pt FG. The fact we ignore that most WC starting SFs are shooting 10-15 percent better than Hayward just goes to show the extent of the blind worshipping we have towards a pretty average/bad player. I took hell when I bashed Kirilenko. I fully expect to take hell for bashing yet another white player who just isn't very good.

Those who focus on his "court vision" are merely making excuses for his ****ty shooting and piss poor ability to drive and score. I don't think a team will be able to win consistently with him starting. Just like Gordon Kirilenko, he's best suited for a sucky team or coming off the bench for a few mins on a good team. He just doesn't shoot well enough

PGs create. SF's finish. Here in utah we seem to believe the opposite. Which is weird because isn't that what we got Trey to do?

We here in utah bash Melo and JR constantly as overrated losers who cannot win.

Yet both shoot a much higher percentage than Hayward. If Hayward were black, had tats, and cornrows, I'm guessing that we would be a lot less patient with him.we see this with burks. When he doesn't shoot well, he sucks. When Hayward doesn't shoot well, he has good court vision and/or he does things which don't show up in the box score.... Yep, uh-huh,right.

Exactly what I want out of a SF. Who cares about his shooting, driving, slashing, post up, etc. let's only care about his court vision. Who needs a PG when you have Hayward, right? By the way, Andrei Hayward just threw the ball away two times straight. Again, who needs a PG to pass the ball when you have Hayward, right?

The Jazz need a SG/SF to distribute because Burke shoots way too much. Always looking for his own shot first.

Thank goodness we have Hayward and Burks otherwise the Jazz may never get an assist.

Perfect example of why Hayward needs to go:

He drives the lane, gets clobbered on one of the worst no calls I've ever seen, and...

Does he explode in anger? Does he get Ted up? Does he show any emotion? Nope. He just accepts it. Just like how he accepted Delonte giving him a wet willey and JJ Barea bumping him. This week *** coward behavior must go. It's a mindset. No anger, no emotion, no competitive spirit. You can't win in this league if you have no passion. No toughness. Replace this clown with Wiggins of Parker and bring in some nasty.

Really? So basically you just want Hayward to be someone completely different then he is. Its good that he doesn't blow up at that kind of stuff. Its called being professional. This is not MMA, wild aggression only leads to foul trouble in this league.

Hayward had proven in the past that he can be a capable shooter. This year he was asked to be a star and came up short. That doesn't negate his positive qualities. He is still an elite passer, strong rebounder and solid defender. BTW shooting is the easiest and most commonly improved skill in basketball. BBall IQ is like being athletic, it can't be taught.

Just because calmer minds don't loath him for his learning curve does not mean he's being worshiped. You for some reason enjoy rooting against your team instead of for it.

As you your self have stated "this year is about learning what works and development." We have learned that Gordon buckles under the weight of being the #1 option and have seen him develop into good all around player.

15, 5, 5 is really hard to come by. Let's be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Instead of presenting any real information you decide to make this a race issue? That's pretty sad. You need to grow up man.

Sounds to me then that you're admitting that the Jazz are even more flawed than previously thought. Sounds like we might have even exasterbated our PG problem by wasting a pick on a chucking SG playing PG. We could have just kept Mo.

If Burke can't distribute, will it matter then who we draft this year? If we somehow get the #1 pick, will it really change anything since that #1 pick won't get the ball enough due to our PGs inability to distribute?

Keeping Hayward around because our PG doesn't pass seems pretty lame. Either Burke needs to be fixed or he needs to be shipped out. Chuck first PGs never win championships.

Did you miss the shooting stats I posted or did you just go straight to the race issue?

Nice job
