I honestly thought you were joking about Hayward this whole time honz.
I'll put him in the next poll just for you.
I put Cousins odds of success at about 17%. I'd take him at #9 but I'd pass in the top four, no doubt. Whoever has that #5 pick is doomed.
Lol, your putting a guy who was the Freshman of the year at 17% success rate? His main flags are immaturity due to age and environment.

I didn't watch any college ball this year until the tournament. I like Hayward because he has sweet handles for a 6'8" guy, can create or get his own shot off the dribble, has a sweet shooting stroke despite having mediocre percentages this year, he is a great passer for a SF, is an underrated athlete with live legs, and possesses great toughness. He will make up for his athletic limitations on the defensive end with smarts and great effort...think Horny on D. He needs to get stronger, but he is a Jazz man if I have ever seen one. He would contribute off the bench from day one and Sloan would love him. Smart, versatile, tough, and talented. Comparing him to Kyle Korver is a travesty. He can do a lot more with a basketball than Korver can.
So he's the next Harpring? If so that's not bad, Harpring was good until he got old and injured.
All that said, are we working him out? Are we working out any of the top five studs?
