Hayward Will Never Be AK

AK was a power forward trying to play small forward. Hayward is a 2-3 wing trying to play UP to big wings. Completely different scenarios, other than both are white hardy har har.

My friends, Hayward will never be the Andrei u want him to be so very very much. Yes he can block the shot like NBA announcing does not realize. Yes he can shoot the three pointer some game. No he is not tall and long like proper Aryan NBA player must be. No he is not worth maximum. No he cannot make clever pass like Andrei. No he cannot defend the Lebron like Andrei. You are all very very stupid wanting signing this man for 16 million US dollar.

Actually AK was never a MAX player and Hayward doesn't cry when he doesn't get his way.

I like AK, but the Jazz definitely overpaid him. To me, a lot of it was due to injury. If he could have stayed healthy throughout his contract, he wasn't a bad guy to have around. I actually think he had a drop off in play due to his bad back.

At the time the Jazz offered him the max, he appeared to be worth it. If he stayed playing at the level he was, it would have been a good investment. If he had improved more, he would have been a steal. Unfortunately the Jazz made a bad bet.

He had a drop off because he didn't work on his game and pouted when he wasn't the man in the offense. Oh how Jazz fans forget the reality of AK.

He never had a strong work ethic. Of course it was a factor, but his injuries has a major impact on his career.

Yep, AK's game was always based on his athleticism. You have to continue to develop because parts of your game will fade as you get older. Look at Malone; he developed a fantastic mid-range game so he could rely on his shooting as he aged instead of having to battle inside all the time. Age - and injuries - caught up to AK and he never worked on improving his shooting nor his strength. He went from being able to guard Kobe to guarding almost no one. It was pitiful to see him pushed aside by stronger players and playing several feet off others and having them just shoot over him.

Pretty concise. Jazz were burned as a result.
 
**** Andrei Kirilenko. One of this franchise's proudest moments was when they didn't re-sign the ****ing bum.

30 NBA front offices would pay Hayward 16 million per. Lindsay -- you are right, very very stupid man. No comparison between what I hear from him and the brilliant wisdom in your posts.
 
Anytime you sign a player, you gamble. AK was a roll of the dice and worked out for us short term. Hayward could receive a career ending injury tomorrow, you never know. I have never been able to stand Hayward, but I'm excited for the season,let's see what he can do and make some noise.
