This guy is a beast, right now he is in battle with JAMES in conference finals, pls stop comparing him with Hayward. I love our core4 + AL but we have to be realistic, George is the better player and it Aignt be close right now.
instead we should compare big al jefferson to george hill
THANK YOU for posting this. It's too funny how many jazz fans think we made the right draft choice in hindsight... dude is going toe to toe with the best in the league. another fail by the Jazz F.O
We gotta have "system" players.
Whatever the hell a system is these days...
Destiny man, don't fight god.I promise you Paul George would NOT be who he is today if he was coached by Tyronne Corbin and in the non wing centric Jazz system, like The Fresh Prince just said, whatever that is these days.
I wanted George in that draft and so did a lot of other people.

also would like to add that no one even thought he could look this good, then the Pacers best player Granger misses the year and George makes the Allstar game. Playoffs hit and the Pacers find them selves learning on George. Hayward has Millsap, Al, and Mo in the way. And still put up similar numbers to George before the playoffs hit. Hayward is going to be great like have said for two years now.I promise you Paul George would NOT be who he is today if he was coached by Tyronne Corbin and in the non wing centric Jazz system, like The Fresh Prince just said, whatever that is these days.
ReppedEveryone shut up about the Jazz making a mistake on draft night. So did the other teams that drafted ahead of the Jazz. Hindsight bitches.
If we want to complain that we drafted a dud that is fine. But Hayward is a good player even though Corbin won't let the offense run through him. Which we wasted 3 years of development not letting him practice that.
1 - Wizards - John Wall
2 - Philly - Evan Turner
3 - New Jersey - Derrick Favors
4 - Wolves - Wesley Johnson
5 - Kings - DeMarcus Cousins
6 - Golden State Warriors - Ekpe Udoh
7 - Detroit Pistons - Greg Monroe
8 - Los Angeles Clippers - Al-Farouq Aminu
I would take Hayward over all of these wing players and most of the big men also. We could of wasted a pick on Wesley Johnson or Aminu.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hayward is the better player long term. If you look at Haywards stats per 36 compared to Paul George who played 37 minutes a game it is not a big difference.
FG% - Hayward wins
3P% - Hayward wins
FT% - Hayward wins (And shoots more per game)
Rebounding - Paul George wins
Assists - Paul George wins
Blocks - About the same
steals - Paul George wins
Turnovers - Hayward
Now this is Gordon Hayward playing with Mo Williams and Al Jefferson who just jack ups shots. They actually play team ball on the Pacers. They run the offense through him. And everyone seems to be unselfish on the team. And better defenders to set up the offense.
Everyone here is going to be eating crow next year when he gets the same minutes and Favors and Kanter are manning the paint, making offensive transitions easier for Hayward and Burks because the defensive stops will be there.
Put things in perspective please.
I can't even begin to explain how wrong you are. First we got blown out by NY with no Mello. We also struggled against Atlanta. Remember when we made Harris look like a HOF pg. Also there defense is light years ahead of ours it's not even funny.Indiana is not that good. Maybe a little better than Utah actually.
They beat Atlanta and New York on their way. Quite real for any 1-10 team from the West.
Hey, we beat Miami too, donchya know?
