Tweets say Hayward's out 6-8 weeks. Goodbye 4th seed. I'm fed up with this "fighting for 8th spot" **** and most probably it will strike back.
Just when you're pumped more than ever... this happens...
Fractured ring finger usually is about 6 weeks. It is better now then during playoffs folks. There is always blessing in disguise... young kids will get more playing time and confidence.
At first I was bummed about this, but now I think it could be a blessing in disguise. Put Hood in a situation where he has to be the man for a while, and this could fast forward his breakout this year. Also gives JJ a chance to fit in faster. We got lucky with the timing as well. Much better than having it happen a month from now.
I kinda like the story of Rodney Hood getting to start next to his childhood idol.
End of the summer: kkk still wants bigs with limited defensive versatility to defend wings
Also if he indeed misses games, Burks, Exum and Neto will be the ones profiting the most, as they'll most likely make their backcourt a little smaller and let Gobert clean up size disadvantages
Edit: Offensively, yes he could. Defensively, he'll have trouble with a lot of matchups, but after consideration, I think it's possible IF he's playing next to Favors and Gobert. He'll get blown by, but if Rudy and Faves are protecting the rim the way we all know they can, I don't think it's out of the question that Lyles could play some 3.
Anyway, my first instinct is to dismiss such an idea, but if Favors and Rudy get back to owning the paint like they should, it might actually work.
