I can't 100% verify this (maybe others can help me)...but I believe Hayward has made more consecutive FT's to start his playoff career than any other player in NBA history. Gordon Hayward has never missed a Free Throw in the playoffs, making his first 28 in a row.
To put that into perspective, the best FT shooters in the history of the NBA such as Mark Price, Steph Curry (made his first 27 in a row in the playoffs), Jeff Hornacek, Larry Bird, Steve Nash, Calvin Murphy weren't able to do what Hayward has done.
However, it's too bad FT shooting accuracy doesn't translate to FG%, where Hayward is now a ridiculously horrid 18-66 .273 for his playoff career.
