The Gordon Hayward Experiment...you know the drill

Watching the game I thought he was far less aggressive than he should have been. He had a couple chances to get easier shots but instead faded from the basket and missed. He avoided contact like the plague as evidenced by his 0 ft attempts. He also blew a wide open layup when he could have dunked it and missed a 3 when he should have passed to a wide open raja on the baseline, among other things. Overall a poor performance, i'm sure he'll be pissed at himself when he looks at the film. A learning experience for a 2nd year player.

I think he's a chicken **** afraid to get hit. He'd fit right into a Utah Utes football practice.
 
Hayward is obviously struggling and the main problem is Ty is giving him too many minutes. When a young player gets too many minutes, they begin to struggle, they lose their confidence, then it takes a while to get their confidence back.

Hayward's shot has a fundamental flaw besides his slow release. He leans forward and kicks his head back. You watch Korver's shot, he lands where he begins and his head stays perfectly still. Hayward has too many moving parts to be a consistent shooter.

When he drives to the basket, he should shoot the pull-up jumper or learn a semi-hook in the lane. Often times he is right by the rim, completely open, and passes it like he never thought about shooting the ball. I really think his pull-up jumper like he hit at the end of the 76'er game could be his main shot.

He definitely is not a long-range shooter, his mid-range game is what he should be working on.
 
Yea, you want to be a triple threat at all times.
Pass, shoot, drive.
If you don't do one well, that hinders the others also.
This is true for everyone on the team, not just GH.
I like that he passes and sees the court, but he's got to score also.
 
YOU GD HYPOCRITES!!! Welcome to the party a little late. Did you'all just start watching the games. He is week minded just like all of you when you drink the koolaid of KOC $%it. He is at best AK but I doubt he will sniff AK jockstrap. So, take you little baby rep system and give all of yourselves a negative rep for being so blind and dumb.

He is having his sophomore year of college all over again.

His sophomore year he was asked to do more ball handling and play-making and his shooting suffered greatly.
 
Well, I hope he gets as good as AK, although they are very different players, I don't see the comparison, but AK was an allstar, wasn't he?
 
they are totally different players, not even close to being similar in their strengths or style, so it seems like an odd comparison to me
