Dwill starting ... as is Hayward (AK out)

[Stickler]

I'd like to see Hayward get 34 minutes tonight. I don't like it when he starts and only plays 12 minutes. What's the point?

So let's just say that Hayward gets 30 min or so and goes off, breakout game. Holds Melo to something in the teens, scores 22, 8 of 11 shooting, 4 asst, 5 reb, 2 steals a block. When AK comes back what then?

You wake up from the dream.

..., then AK will be working his way into the starting lineup for another team.

Then we start Hayward at SG and move Bell to the bench, which is what a bunch of us have been saying ought to happen for weeks or maybe months.

This. When I looked at a recent box score (I think our last game), I saw he started but got just 14 minutes or something while Miles came off the bench and got a ton of minutes. I have no problem starting Miles. Hell, he probably should start. But Stickler's got a very valid point here.

Sure this is what we WANT to happen. But what would Sloan really do? And I don't mean the standard "Sloan will do nothing at all" which is probably the most realistic. I am kind of getting at what it would take for Sloan to actually play the better player rather than stay with his rigid system.

Why not let Raja guard Melo and have Hayward guard the 2?

With Price out there we're sure to succeed tonight. Price by 17.

Hayward played for 3 mins to start game. Kid just out of his league
