I wonder what he would be like with one other even really competent player on his team

Hed be really good. He wouldnt have to be the man, and could be the great complementary player he is. We are screwed with him as our number 1, and no one on else stepping up.

Hayward is a great player. But he will never be the #1 guy on a successful team.

Disagree. He just needs a #2 (and #3-5) who can be more consistent. No one is showing up to every game right now besides Hayward. I think Burks was starting to get it going, but who knows with this shoulder thing. Also maybe if Hayward had a better defense he could be a #1 option. Paul George is a #1 option on a great team despite not being the best individual offensive player because his team's defense is so good so he doesn't have to be a maniac every game to win.

Hayward has to play lights out every game for us to have a chance to win, especially if Favors is coasting through a game.

Hayward is a number 1. It's too bad we don't have a #2 or even a #3 right now.

Burks playing like a 4th option most of the season and Favors fades in and out of being an option at all.

Kanter and Burke can score and playmake but our huge defensive liabilities (Kanter has gotten better though).

Don't think favors really understands how good he could be .. if he only had a brain

He gets down on himself really easily. If a call doesn't go his way, or he starts missing some easy shots he gets down. Then he kind of fades away. Seems like if he doesn't get going early, he doesn't get going at all.

Well, I am the guy who thought Hayward was going to be a complete bust when he first got drafted. So, I've been (very) wrong about him before.

sooo isn't that then something that a good coach would pick up on and make sure he gets some touches and post ups early ???

I don't think he can carry this team even with a #2 to anything more than bottom of the playoffs, never in the top 4. If that is your end game then yes he is a #1.

Burke and Kanter have been very disappointing on defense. I dont see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we have all year to find out.
