1st impression of Hayward playing with the Elite USA players

[framer]

My first impression is that Hayward looked huge; he's not a little kid anymore. My second impression is he is just not as good as the other guys out there and he missed a couple wide open shots. He was getting those wide open looks because his defender would leave him to help against some of the better offensive scorers. My overall impression is Hayward is trying to improve, but he just will not be a superstar worthy of the max contract he received.

Yep they were playing off him and clogging the post which is why Hayward just couldn't pump the ball inside to Plumlee for a few easy scores in a row. Oh, wait, that isn't what happened at all. . .

Looks a lot bigger.

David Locke said he's up to 230...so I guess he wasn't being lazy and he was working out. Shocker.

He does look a lot bigger. 230 is pretty good size for a small forward, I bet he sees more time there this year, in a faster offense with more motion.

Hayward going to used as a 4 in some lineups as an experiment.

That'll be fun.

Exum, Burks, Hood, Hayward, Favors

Or

Burke, Exum, Burks, Hayward, Favors

Or a bunch other possibilities.

Hayward at the 4 this season?...LOL. Can't shoot well enough to spread the floor as a stretch-4, has no post game whatsoever, yeah that experiment should end pretty quickly.

he sucks and jazz sucks **** lindsey aka lindsay lohan aka cocain

I was with you up 'til cocain. Please expound.

Putting Hayward at the 4 would mean Burke, Exum, and Burks all could be on the floor at the same time. That would generate a ton of open shots. Defensively I think it only works if you have Gobert in at center though.

This is how Corbin's brain thought.

So, if Hayward is 230 lbs, he is the same size as Marvin. He could play 4 at times.

Excuse me, but I'm not sure you saw the game. Neither team shot over 38%. Guys were missing wide open shots all game long, with exception to Korver, even Curry mised one or two wide open shots. However, part of Hayward's touch issues from last night could be due to putting on extra muscle mass, and I'd deffinetly looks as if he has done just that.
