Hayward=AK47

I don't hate AK I hated the stupid *** contract that the jazz gave him. I don't know how you could watch his game and hate him. That contract though I hated is guts

Hayward is way more skilled than AK ever was. AK was just one of those guys with freakish athleticism who could use that to impact a game. That athleticism diminishes fairly early and then you are left with what he is now, not bad but not an impact player. Gordon will be much better for much longer.

Also, I don't think that anyone is talking max with Gordon. Strawman argument.
 
Hayward is a better shooter.

They're both amazing at blocking shots from behind on fast breaks.

AK, when healthy, was better at everything else.

Disagree. Hay is better handling the ball, better play maker. And being a better shooter is a rather significant thing.
 
I am so not ready to throw Hayward under bus. It's just a contract dispute -- let it work itself out next summer.
 
AK could have been a Hall of Famer, had he concentrated on Rebs, blocks, assists and steals. He could have been one of the greatest all around players ever. He decided scoring 20 was more important than 5x5's.

I don't know if Hayward is good enough to be an All Star.

Huge difference.

The only place Hayward is a better shooter is on spot ups behind the arc. AK was/is a better shooter everywhere else, with a crazy high for a wing career 2% of .510. AK was an elite efficient scorer in spite of his subpar 3 point shooting: career TS% .573, with one year hitting the league top ten.

Hayward also has a respectable TS% when set up by others and because of his solid spot up 3%. When he has to carry the load, like this season, his shooting efficiency drops from .564 career to a horrid .446 (Corbin: It's just three games).

Lol why did this thread start comparing Hayward's and AK's basketball skills?


Did any of you even read the original post?

Damn de-railers
 
Both are role players asking for max money. Fans think they can be #1 options yet they're both best suited as a 3rd or 4th option.

The comparisons are valid.

Get Wiggins and hope that Burke can develop. Wiggins, kanter/Favors, Burke, and Hayward as a role player=best chance for the jazz to win. Heck, i think that even Burks should be considered a better offensive option than Hayward. Burks is a poor mans d wade.
