Can Bogey Bear Be as Good as Hayward?

Bojan is a shooter. Hayward, when he was with us, provided athleticism and defensive switchability, both of which this squad currently lacks at the moment.
 
Honestly we still need another lengthy forward who can help us deal with the likes of Lebron, Kawhi and PG. Ingles(at this point of his career) and Bojan would absolutely get torched by those guys. Jeff Green has the tools but he was one of the worst defenders in the league last season for some weird reason.

Bojan is not a stopper but did well enough against LeBron in the playoffs a couple years ago. I think he’s fine in a playoff series against those guys. Perimeter guys who are quicker would worry me more... like if he is switched onto Harden. Bojan is pretty thicc so I think he’s a solid option against LeBron and Kawhi... honestly those guys eat no matter what... you just want to make sure you don’t make it easy for them. Bojan will compete and do a solid job. I doubt he gets torched.

Ingles, Bojan, Royce is a solid trio... green can likely do okay though I’ve never been impressed with his defense. I’d be okay adding one more perimeter defender but I think we are okay there for now.
 
Gordo was good and will create more for others... I think Bojan may be a better overall basket maker. I think Bojan is more willing to take the role we have and maximize it... I definitely wouldn’t swap them right now... if Hayward had never been hurt I probably would but we’ve never seen him play well outside of our system where he was the clear focal point.

It is an interesting thought exercise.

This just seems to be a rough, oversimplified assessment of Bogey.

How much more athletic than Bogey is/was Hayward? How terrible is Bogey while switching?

I just want him to be good enough to get his own shoe deal so he can try and edge into Hayward’s monopoly on Christmas basketball shoes.

I can't wait for the sales numbers to come out on those bad boys! I'm guessing DM sells more in one colorway than Gordon ever sells in signature shoes. One thing we know for certain... there will be a cheesy article released with the shoe that we can all mock.
 
To be fair, that's only one colorway for Gordon. He will have Celtic themed ones too and others. But yeah, he should be very embarrassed to be associated with those.

Who is the target market? I guess the mall-walkers since Gordon is such a nice young man.

Watch us all be wrong when millions of Gordon Hayward shoes are sold in China.
