Kobe thinks Hayward has a bright future

I actually had a Hornacek flashback last night when I saw Hayward come of a curl and hit a quick mid range jumper. I have to credit those who said he was the real deal. He appears to be. He's reminds me a little of Ginobili and Hornaceck.
 
After watching the last couple of games he does really remind me of a younger Ginobili! Plus, I loved hearing that he likes to play the 2 more then 3!! 6ft 8 at the 2 Heck Yeah!!! And I like what coach has been Watson brings up the ball, gives it to Hayward and let Hayward do the rest! Number 9 pick is looking like a steal for him now :) Thanks MR. Oconnor!

The best part. I like that for the first time somebody didn't play afraid and actually bodied up Kobe. As far as comparison, I think his game is much more like Ginobili than Hornacek.

Spot on. I thought I was the only one that didn't get the Hayward-Hornacek comparisons. He is definitely more comparable to Ginobili, but with more size and athleticism. Hopefully, Hayward can develop into a clutch player like Ginobili is.

I am happily eating crow. I thought Hayward was a wasted pick at #9, but he is surpassing my expectations for his rookie season by a lot. I hope he continues to work hard on his game. Dude is much more athletic that I gave him credit for.

I think that he will be better then Ginobili by the end of his career. Due to his athleticism but for this to happen they need to let him controll the ball and make some plays, just like last night.
 
Now that we have seen that Hayward can make plays and controll the ball some. I say bring on Jimmer and let him shoot lights out! I haven't wanted Jimmer but if Utah drafts him, I don't think it will be that bad. I just like Knight and Walker better

Damn, thats a pretty bold statement. Ginobili has been a top 3 SG over the past decade.
