Indeed. Mostly it was that we picked a sure bust, and just about anyone else would be better. Now in 3d year Hayward's performance is top 5 in that draft, and could be even better if not for Corbin impending his progress last year by reducing minutes from year before and making him come off the bench behind a veteran scrub.
Pick is Gordon Hayward; ESA crowd boos
- Thread starter InGameStrategy
- Start date

That's because I'm the only one who liked him.
I read the thread, and I don't see you advocating for Paul George. I see InGameStrategy mentioning George as an alternative, but he also mentioned Babbit as well. It was more of Hayward being a bust rather than George being amazing prospect. Or you mean you like to say now in retrospect that you knew George would be great - after you already know he made all star team?

My new philosophy is never Boo a Jazzman on draft night, or when he returns on another team. I want the NBA to know we love players who play hard and are willing to give a new guy a chance and be gracious to our former friends when they move on.
I will boo lazy effort, and poor performance. Bad refs, jerks on the other team who make hard fouls, and Derek Fisher.

Damn, took you a really long time.
I take the opposite view. We booed Stockton, we booed Hayward. It's like a Jazz tradition and rite of passage. Let's boo them all!
