Excited for Hayward

I can understand why Jazz took Hayward. Jazz are tired of drafting clueless idiots who don't know how to run a simple play. Jazz rely on players who can run the system and execute plays. Hayward may be the smartest player in draft this year and will play the system just as Sloan wants. Deron will love a guy who is always exactly where he's supposed to be.

i think hayward could end up being a good player in the nba... But i'm not sure how it's gonna work out in utah. Sloan, who will still be here long after hayward retires (and probably dies), runs an offense built around a pg/pf... And i can't seem to remember a single outstanding sf to come through the "system" in the last 20 years.

So even if hayward does turn out to be special, i don't think we will see much beyond what we already have in miles/matthews due to the inherent limitations of sloan's system.

because of that, the jazz should either have worked even harder to trade up or they should have traded down for additional assets... You don't waste a #9 pick on a guy who can never be more than a system role player.

amen!
 
i see nothing but a bust on the jazz. yeah maybe the jazz will be the first team to have a all white team...and get rid of the thugs on the jazz to keep that nice utah image going...you might as well say goodbye to d-will,cj miles,wes ,boozer and millsap sometime soon.

Yep its all about race.

People on here are obsessed with it.
 
People complain at the situation at teh 5 spot, but isnt this what half the board has wanted all last year? Sloan will be forced to develop Kosta or Fess now. Isnt that what everyone was complaining about last year? AK no play his natural position at the 4 too, another thing people have been complaining about.

And to the guy who compared AK shooting to Hayward shooting, get real, Hayward is a good shooter, he might not be elite yet, but I think he can get there.

I've also done some soul searching and I'm no longer a believer. I've completely lost my faith in KOC, Sloan and Greg Miller. It was wavering last season and now it is gone. For now, I will still hold out hope that something else will be done come July. If not, I'll find a new team to worship or just remain agnostic.

Don't let the door hit your @$$ on the way out.


(cough) bandwagon (cough)
 
Speakin for my own damn self, I'm a hard-core, true-blue, stone-cold, die-hard Jazz fan! I ALWAYS root for the Jazz. Well, unless mebbe the team they're playin gits a 2-point lead on them, or sumthin. Then I root for the other team, BUT, if the Jazz take the lead back, I'm straight back to rootin for the Jazz, see!? It works out pretty good that way...whoever wins, *my* team won, and I can be very proud of myself. And I can talk trash to the fans of the losin team, whether it's the Jazz or their opponent.
 
Hayward has a higher no-step vertical than John Wall. What if Hayward adds some lower body strength and explosiveness? He could a couple of inches to his vertical.
 
I would have gone in a different direction but I can't call this a "bad pick" because there really weren't any alternatives that didn't have just as many questions as Hayward. I can definitely see Hayward being a quality starter 2 years down the road. The other argument you make against this pick is why we didn't draft size, which can't really be argued until we see what happens during free agency.

Don't love the pick, but definitely excited to see Hayward play in Orlando. Hopefully the games will be televised.
 
Not even a sticky thread for the legendary Knicks lottery pick? Bump.

I see this as a good sign. The moran percentage among the posters in this forum is about 95%. You think he sucks... for sure Hayward is gonna be good!
