Gordon Hayward Rookie Season Mix

I love how you can see that his confidence grows as the season goes on, (along with his hair) In some of the highlights i noticed that he could have passed to an open teammate but he was confident enough in his ability to hit shots that he just took the shot instead

at 1:02 he does exactly this. And at 2:32 he does as well, although he does get a screen there.

1:02 is close to that, but the play is still pick and roll, not an iso. Plus, the moves I envision aren't looping from the right wing to the left elbow. It's two or three steps and then pull up. That clip is encouraging, though. Shows he's capable of it.
 
Actually the Ginobili comparison some people made before the season started is starting to make sense looking at his footwork on the break and ability to use either hand effectively.
 
nice work on the video. Once again I am reminded that I am an idiot for not cheering when he was picked last summer. It's a very good thing that they don't ask my opinion on draft picks.

Maybe it was supposed to be a pick and roll but Fez didn't impede the defender at all so it may as well have been an iso. If he can do that looping from the wing with a defender right on him there's no reason to think he couldn't do it from the top of the key or anywhere else. And there are plenty of instances of him beating his man off the dribble and going all the way to the rack, so there's no question he can get around people. The bottom line is, if this is an example of one of his weaknesses then his potential is stratospheric.
