7 more games for Hayward & Ty....

[♪alt13]

tbh, hayward and parker are nothing alike (hayward a willing distributor, decent defender; parker a shooter who cant even defend anyone in the college game), and from the looks of his speed, size, and quickness, parker is more of a stretch 4 in this league. They could easily (and probably symbiotically) co-exist.

The whole point of playing small ball is to create mismatches and give you a speed advantage. Hayward/Parker @ the 3 & 4 does not accomplish this.

A stretch 4 opens up the lane for slashers and I don't see Hayward as fitting that role well.

On D I'm not sure that I would want Parker guarding NBA 4s all that often.
