What's new

Hayward or Paul George

But he had his best year directly after the injury....

I don't think the injury made him worse at all. He just hasn't worked as tirelessly as Hayward has on his game (especially this last offseason) and his effort has waned at times this year playing for a team destined for mediocrity.
 
Hayward has been phenomenal this season and has surpassed PG in every way.. thanks mostly due to his offseason tennis training.
 
Yeah, PG played on a team with some great vets.

PG was on a team that revolutionized modern NBA defense and had vets in West/Hil to help him offensively. Meanwhile Hayward was out here playing with Al Jefferson.

Are you saying Utahr lacked vets during the Corbin era?
 
Im saying Big Al sucked.

This makes me wonder whether Utah or Indy had a better offensive rating during these years. I mean, it's been confirmed that George had unquestionably superior statistics, and if he did that while being part of a worse offense overall, well, that would be a real head-scratcher.

Wow. Looking at that video makes me wonder how many times the NBA tested Hayward for steroids thinking something had to be up only left scratching their collective heads wondering how he beat their test every time. Lol
This year Hayward clearly surpassed George. Never saw it happened TBH, 2 years ago George looked like perennial all star but since injury he has not been the same.

Beat me to it


That's got to. E the worst thing I've ever seen.
 
I totally get all the excitement over Hayward and proclamations that he is superior to Paul George this year. The stats back it up this season. However I want to see how Hayward performs in the playoffs before I make judgement. The playoffs is where a player truly makes a name for himself, not the regular season where the games don't matter as much. PG has won 31 playoff games, led his team to the Conference finals twice (taking eventual champion Miami to 7 games in 2013), while Hayward made the playoffs once his rookie year and got swept. If Hayward steps up his game in the playoffs this year, that will convince me. But for now, I have to say PG is still the better and more proven/battle-tested player.
