Hayward's usage is now under 20% which is around where it was his second year in the league. When he's on the floor with the starting unit in the set offense he's pretty much been relegated to a decoy. He stands in the corner waiting for if/when the defense collapse on Kyrie.

Last night during the stretch run against GSW Hayward sat on the end of the bench emotionless with a towel over his mouth - I'm sure this must be killing him.

All this talk in free agency about how Brad could better utilize him and make him a 30 PPG guy... basically every reason he highlighted for going to Boston looks like closed doors on any of those possibilities.

Of course, perhaps Brad said he’d score 13 PPG and everyone thought he said 30. But still, he’s falling short even if Brad said 13.
 
Marcus Smart now sitting there with an eFG% of 52%. For perspectve, Hayward equaled that number twice in his 7 year jazz career (this year 48%), Harden and Klay Thompson are both at 54% and Exum (the guy who the Jazz chose instead) is at 47% this season.

Smart is starting and finishing games and playing 30+ minutes for one of the most loaded rosters and best teams in the league.

Not bad for a guy who can't shoot.

This... I could have seen a gradual slide to something resembling what hayward is doing, but I never thought it would happen so fast and I never thought it would be this bad.

Basketball gods punishing him and the Celtics for obvious tampering.

The way he left followed by his 5 minute first season, and now this, is the worst and most obvious case of immediate sports karma that I can ever think of.

Haha.. I like the play on 30 and 13.
 
I was checking Harden's stats after reading an article claiming Curry should be the MVP instead and was shocked to learn that Harden averaged 44.4 points in the month of January so far (12 games).

He's averaging almost 30 shots a game during that span but I'm still impressed merely from a scoring standpoint.

This year for sure. Tell us about his shooting % for the rest of his career ?
