Following Potential 2018 Draftees

The huge difference is Hayward was much better at driving and drawing contact. He's was a much more natural scorer and tougher player.

I actually agree with the comp. Huerter is far from just a 3 ball shooter. Lots of highlights of him being crafty about getting into the paint and scoring down low.

Besides, comps aren’t saying they are identical players. Recent photos of Huerter bulking up def reminds me of Hayward though...

Huerter is closer to Hood than Hayward, but his body does seem like it can add more weight than Hood. Right now Huerter is a great shooter with some skill off the bounce, but I dont know if he is dynamic scorer.

Yes, like you said, he does more than just shoot, but that's in college. Will his entire skill-set translate (and that skill-set isnt that wide like Hayward's was) and will it expand in the NBA? Thompson's shrunk to what he was really good at and he became elite at those things.

I’m not a college game watcher. My limited exposure is highlights. What I’ve seen of Huerter, he doesn’t remind me much of Hayward. Donte, on the other hand, looks like Hayward on crack and steroids.

Neither of them are like Hayward, but Huerter is a little bit closer just because of the size.

Donte's player archetype is more like current Eric Gordon and Huerter's is more like Thompson. Both are less talented and smaller than either of those guys though.
 
Gordon Hayward is basically the perfect 3rd star for any team and a great 2nd star. I would do backflips if the Jazz drafted the next Gordon Hayward, I dont really care if it took him 7 years to reach that level. Hayward was a very useful player every year of his career that improved every year in the league. Stop being dumb.

If there’s a very high likelihood I’m a first rounder, I leave immediately. In addition to the gamble, you’ve got a year of lost opportunity cost that you won’t be playing professionally that needs to be added to the equation. I wouldn’t jeopardize $5M in guaranteed money in the hopes that I earn $5M more on a rookie contract later (while losing a year of salary). The difference between $5M and $10M isn’t that great when you look at the cost of the very real risk of jeopardizing that $5M completely from anything ranging from having a poor season, getting injured, an air show disaster, or Chinese organ thieves.

I wouldn't advise otherwise. Cy points out the injury risk and I am the pioneer on here about that.

My point is that this is a personal decision, with family and coaching staff, and most likely agents influencing.

Haywood is a great example here. He could have declared after his first season but held out. Weaker players with room to grow, who aren't physically ready for the NBA can and do.
 
Hayward is a good in theory guy. He looks like he's going to be this or he could do that. At the end of the day, I've never seen it.

He doesn't take over games. He doesn't get red hot and hit multiple straight 3's. He isn't a balls to the wall, passionate, hustle guy like PJ Tucker. Hayward is a good comprehensive player who would "seem" to fit in many areas but I haven't seen it yet.

There is a reason why so many fell in love with the team this year. We played with heart. We were a team. You could try to blame Hill, but that's weak just like going to Boston. Hayward never had it. Maybe he becomes an Iguodala type for Boston, but I just don't see it. He is a solid role player on a contender or 3rd option at best.

How did you learn how to read and write being this stupid?


Hayward averaged 22 ppg last year. If he never gets hot or hits multiple 3's in a row, he must be the most consistent and steady 22 ppg scorer the NBA has ever seen (which would honestly be extremely impressive). He was also a 40% 3pt shooter that never hit multiple 3's in a row. Insane that he made a 3 then missed 3 then made another one every-time consistently.

Actual Facts: You are a ****ing idiot and Hayward had multiple 30+ point games last year, including a 40 point playoff game.
 
Hey Cy, I gave him credit for one great year.

Statistically, go compare Hayward's best year to Tyreke Evans this year. Tyreke is better for every single stat. Better percentages, same points, rebounds, etc and in 5 less minutes per game.

Somebody has to score. The worst team in the NBA still scores close to 100 per night. Hayward was given the keys to the Jazz car for 7 years and truly shined in one. Mitchell is a legend for how he plays and what he accomplished. There is a reason Hayward is an afterthought even if that hurts your feelings fanboy.
