Independent View on Hayward DX video

[akirac73]

a bit of a better defender than given credit for in this video-- otherwise, very accurate.


Still baffles me how he hasn't started working on a post-game. What in the ****, Gordon Hayward. League SGs are getting smaller, he should be feasting on them.

This. Anyone remember a game last season vs. the Clippers. CP3 somehow ended up defending Hayward on a few consecutive possessions...a complete mismatch in favor of Hayward right? Hayward tried backing down the diminutive Paul only to come up empty. Summary of Gordon Hayward's career post up game highlights...pathetic.

Kevin Durant had teh same problem vs. CP3, so yeah, maybe a harder post-matchup than you are giving it credit for being.

Cp3 is surprisingly strong defending in the post

Refs definitely let him get away with more pushing and ball swiping than they would bigger defenders.

It takes time to develop a post game though. How long did it take Lebron to finally get one? 8 years?

If Lebron is a Lamborghini and Kobe is an old Rolls, Gordan probably is a Lexus or at least will grow into one. But he is not a Mercedes or BMW. Pay him like a Lexus.

Hayward is no Lexus. More like Toyota Camry. He is above average player, has talent to improve, still young, and exceeded expectations for a #9 overall pick. However to call him a premium player is a stretch. Van Gandy nailed it when he said Gordon 6-8 mil a year player. Anything more would be overpaying. He is not a 10+ mil guy. Above average, yes, but not double the average.
