Nice, leaping rebound by Hayward. At about 45 seconds left in 2Q, he goes aggressively for an offensive rebound but gets called for the foul. Respectable effort.
James Augustine doing OK; not really better than Koufos. Not any promise down low IMO.
Augustine has some offensive ability and his body looks good. He also has some good foot speed. He needs to show better defensive box outs and help d.
Hayward looked a lot better in the second quarter. Waters looked way better than Rice. But Gaines is still better than either. Jeffers has played poorly especially on D. Gerald Henderson has been schooling him. Koufos can still rebound a little but he just doesn't seem to have enough quickness.
Evans has nice length and defensive range. But he is so skinny. And he doesn't have offensive SF skills. He at least a year away and probably 2 or more.
The biggest issue I've seen from Hayward so far is he doesn't feel comfortable in the offense yet. That will come with time. He has some nice plays so far.
