Damn, that boy had so much potential.. man..

Doesn't a restructured bone come back stronger though? I heard rumors of that being so, but good lawd. I'm sure his athleticism is going to be affected by this right here, and he's going to think twice about doing something batshiz crazy again.

he is still young, but he will basically lose 2 years of prime years. he would've entered his prime this coming season. i would say his come back season will be a full of rust, bad chemistry, frustration, occasionally glimpse of old pg, and alot of scratching back of heads.
 
Hayward can play both SF and Guard. A bunch of minutes just opened up for SF, I'd almost call it a lock that Hayward gets in over Derozen. I think Korver makes the team too. Plumlee, Faried and Derozen out. I would have kept Milsap over Faried.

I believe Coach K said that he thought Hayward could play the 4 in international ball as well.
 
The Next 4 cuts :

Chandler Parsons......Good on fast breaks ,good at popping 3 pters.but more dependent on someone setting him up and this team has scorers
Andre Drummond.......In a close game you can't play him because of his poor free throw shooting
Damian Lilliard...........This could be Kyrie Irving also ,4 PG's aren't needed

Demar Derozan/Miles Plumlee.......Plumlee could make it as the emergency Center,DeRozan is a great individual scorer but lacks the all around game
 
I think the cuts will be:
- Parsons
- Korver or Thompson -- we don't need 2 dedicated shooters; I could actually see both of them being cut, tbh
- either Plumlee or Drummond -- normally I'd think Plumlee, but Drummond's FTs could be a factor
- Kyrie or Lillard, probably Lillard would be cut also, unless they're calling Lillard a combo guard.

Paul George's injury opened the door for DeRozan and Hayward, potentially. The knock on DeRozan is his shooting, but I'm not sure how well Hayward has been shooting as of late.
