I agree. He has a nice shot. Square shoulders and wrist instead of arm. He is going to be a good one. Just needs more playing time.
Gordon Hayward - Yikes!

Most of his shots seem to be on target and fall into my "good miss" category. Basically, if the ball goes over the cylinder after it struck iron, it's a good, or close, miss. Also seems to be missing on the distance side of things, rather than the accuracy side. That's also a good sign.

that could be said about alot of players. What does good one to you mean? Like all star or like 6th man?

and paul george from fresno and babbit from nevada and no kidding babbit is white and i thought thats who they were going to draft. He doesnt play in port that much cuz if you havent notice portland has alot of young talent. Babbit bigger,stronger, more athletic

And Hayward doesn't play in Utah that much because if you haven't noticed, Utah has a lot of established veterans.

Yeah, I agree, KOC should have dealt Price, the #9 and a sign-and-trade of Othyus Jeffers to move into the top-5. I mean, what team wouldn't have wanted what we had to offer?
Seriously, to those who have decided Hayward is already a bust, do you care to put up the NBA numbers to date for the guys who were drafted 10-16. - i.e. the players we were left to choose from? OK, I will. In fact, let's go #6-16 since we MAYBE had an outside shot of jumping up 3 spots. That is, had KOC offered one of the two #1's we used to get Jefferson.
#6 - Udoh: Hurt, hasn't played.
#7 - Monroe: 17 mins/per. 3.9 pts, 5 rbds on 33%. Rebounding is pretty good, but 33% for a big. That's terrible.
#8 - Aminu: 14 mins/per. 5.5 pts, 3 rbds on 46%. Not bad. But he wasn't available at #9 so it's a "mute" point.
#9 - Honzward: 11 mins/per, 3 pts, 2 rbds on 37%.
#10 - George: 18 mins/per, 6 pts, 3 rbds on 38%. Not much better than Hayward.
#11 - Aldrich: 10 mins/per, 1 pt, 2 rbds, 0.2 blocks. Not exactly the great defender, inside presence/shot-blocker some thought he'd be.
#12 - Henry: 14 mins/per, 7 pts, 2 rbds on 40%. Better than Gordon, but not a whole lot.
#13 - Davis: Injured, has not played.
#14 - Patterson: Has not played. Is being sent to the D-League
#15 - Sanders: 6 mins/per, 2.0 pts, 1.0 rbds on 42% shooting. That's not a very good % for an interior player.
#16 - Babbitt: 5 mins/per, 1.0 pts, 1.0 rbds on 25% shooting.
