O'Connor said he told Hayward that "Everyone will think you're the greatest thing since canned soup" once he arrives in Utah.
Well, I for one...****ing hate canned soup.
Yeah, I remember about 6 years ago everyone praising the Jazz getting Kirk Snyder, because he finally was the athletic strong dynamic wing the Jazz had been looking for for ages.
That worked out well. Then again, NBA players are made by fan reaction so I'm amazed it didn't turn out better for him.
A lot of Kirk Snyder's fame came from playing no one in his small college conference then having an outstanding tournament which got the attention of NBA scouts and GMs. Sound familiar? It should. If Hayward's team doesn't go far in the NCAA tournament, I doubt this pick happens. However, beware of falling in love with the tournament hero. Adam Morrison, Luke Jackson, JJ Redick, and Scott Padgett were some real famous ones.
Yeah, but WHICH street? (It does matter, you know... )
Outside of Best Buy.where'd you hear this nonsense?
State and about 900 South. You know, where all the hookers hang out.
Hmmm... not familiar with that street, though I guess the hookers might be in-the-know.

Yeah, but where's the best place to buy crack?
Word on the street is that Deron was a Hayward fan when the Jazz talked to Deron about picking him...

We can thank the effort Deron gave, but with the FO selecting Gordon B. Hinckley...I mean Gordon F. Hayward with the 9th overall pick in the 2010 draft, we have waited 6 years for this...KOC good job for showing Deron the door out of this state and off this team... say hello to the Las Vegas Jazz. I can't believe what I have just witnessed tonight, no more hype for the draft especially with the Jazz.
What's up Brook? According to many people Deron was actually a big fan of Hayward (although im sure he would've said that about anyone). My mom thinks Hayward looks like the kid from "The Sixth Sense". If only he could play with that type of intensity..."Lakers??!? I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!!!"
