What's new

Gordon Hayward shooting 27% in the last 10 games.

C'mon. All this means is Gordon is in on the tank. Lindsey told him the best way to help the team was to shoot poorly. There is simply no other explanation for his 3-17 games.
 
I've always thought his 3-point shot was ugly, even when it was going in. He looks like he just throws the ball up sometimes and there is way too much motion in his shot.

I remember hearing a Horny interview when he said Hayward has a tendency to jolt his head back on his shots which causes them to be off target, he for sure does.

That's not it so much. Hayward would be fine if he was making the shots he has been making the last 3 years. ESPN said that last night 9 of the shots Hayward missed were uncontested.

Actually makes me happier. Dude is just in a rut.
 
Well...

It would help if he ever tried to develop a post game or get closer for an easier jump shot.

Instead, he plays like Korver and constantly chucks up forced jumper after jumper. If he continues to miss he then moves further away to chuck. He still has yet to learn that dunks are easier than 35 foot fadeaway bombs.

And how the hell does he not have a post game?

I question Andrei Hayward's work ethic just like the original Gordon Kirlenko. Both seem obsessed with video games and enjoy the life of being a celebrity. Neither seem very committed to working their asses off and actually develop a game. Hayward is exactly the same player he was 4 years ago... Just chucking and missing more with the occasional fast break dunk.
 
^this^

In 4 more years Hayward won't be noticeably different than he is this year. Similar stats (lesser PPG, likely) and percentages.

Spot on...it's like you can read my mind. Repped.
 
At least Locke is no longer propagating myths about other teams scheming against Hayward, or the primary scorer load being too heavy, or being tired from running all those miles. Now Locke is proudly pumping the 16/5/5 meme. No mention of minutes. No mention that Evan Turner is 17/4/6 in 5 less minutes. Or that Turner is stat inflated garbage.
 
When you say That decision, what are you talking about??? Did he move in with his girlfriend or something?

It's called NOT HAVING A GAME.

It's not Hayward's girl that's causing this suckage. It's called being in the lesgue for years and still not having a game. What has he done? What is his go to move? What has he added to his game since his rookie year?

He seriously looks like the exact same player from 4 years ago.

Andrei Hayward's struggles have more to do with his wasting time on WOW rather than actually developing a post game than anything else.

Just look at how Alec has improved. Once, a one dimensional driver. Now? A solid ball handler who has a devastating midrange jumper. Even his 3 ball looks nice now whereas before it looked Deshawn Brewerish.
