You know, the more I've thought about this, the more I'm convinced the Jazz need to match. He's been a very good player who has improved each season - except for the past one. And who could blame him for hanging his head? Jazz were awful. And Corbin spent more time resurrecting the career of Richard Jefferson than providing guidance for the young players.
No, Hayward is not worth the max right now. But he's going to rebound from a poor season. I think he'll return to his historic averages of 45%/38%. With better efficiency he should average 19-20 pts/per and still provide close to 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Jazz absolutely need him to run the offense with the first team. Trey is a shoot-first PG and Dante won't be ready to start for several months, much less lead the team.
Hayward is going to come back stronger and more determined and will blossom under Quin's guidance.
