Is Alec having a better season than Gordon?

[One Brow]

Hayward is having a better season than expectations? You know, the expectations that prevented him from signing a lofty contract in hope of getting closer to the max?

I said "sans", not "than". "Sans expectations" means "when you don't consider the expectations as a part of your argument".

I'm pretty confident that if we had been starting Burks at the 2 and Hayward at the 3 for the entire year that this discussion wouldn't even be close.

Hayward

'Member when the argument used to be that Hayward's LENGTH at the 2 was his best scenario?

I think burks is having the better year....... just barely

Definately thinks burks should see some time in the starting lineup with hayward at the three.

The NBA is about efficiency and consistency. Hayward posses neither.

It's also about team.

If when Hayward was drafted somebody would have told you that Hayward would be the Jazzs go to guy in a few short years you would have died laughing. He's not a #1 option but he is a nice piece.

Short years? The last 4 years have been a ****ing nightmare.

Which is why Jazz fans put their hope in Hayward. It wouldn't have happened otherwise.

It is pretty close. But since fans expected so much more from Hayward I would say Alec is having better season expectation wise.

No, but he's having a better December.

There's really no answer

Alec was playing out of position part of the year as a PG.

Gordon has been playing out of position all year as a #1 option.

One thing: when Alec comes off the bench and has a lousy game, no one really says anything about it other than a few posts. When Hayward has a lousy game, threads pop up all off the place about how he's a bust/over-rated/trade him/don't resign him.

It comes with the territory when asking for more money, deal with it.

Alec is definitely impressive lately. But I am not disappointed in Hayward's season. If Alec can keep up the play of late, then it is really a great bonus, as mostly everyone but Zulu had written him off as a streaky enigma coming into the season.
