I'm agreeing with you that he became worthy of a max level contract. He was that type of player for the last two years of his deal. Over the first two years, I just don't believe he was worth it.
He didn't bring any intangibles to the table. Maybe if he was charismatic like Mitchell. Or if he was an incredible guy in the community. Or if he had games from time to time which got the Jazz name out there more. But that wasn't who he was. He was a good all round player. If he was a max player for another franchise, Jazz fans wouldn't have held him so high. If he was a Bull or a Hawk or a King...
Gordon Hayward is not a max player. I'm glad we aren't paying him like one. Some day we are going to look back and see what a masterful job Quinn did with him. Also, I'm not positive Gobert and Mitchell would be as spectacular sans Quinn. I mean look at Rubio and Crowder. . .
