Thoughts on Hayward

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I think most forget that Hayward is the only lottery player that didnt go to a crap team. This means all his general stats will be down all year long. He wont be spoon fed field goal attempts and forgiven for retarded rookie mistakes. We cant expect him to make 10 ppg because he wont be offered 5 shots per game. If Hayward plays hard defense and keeps leaning the little aspects of NBA basketball like setting screens, when to switch, proper off ball defense then in three years when he matures he will be head over heels above his classmates. We are groming Hayward to fill an important role on our team, not be the focus point like eight other players taken infront of him.

I agree with this too. Good post. If the Jazz didn't already have several established players, including CJ Miles, they might have gone after a shooter like George or Xavier Henry, both of whom should be good offensive players. I think the Jazz really did want to get an impact big like Cousins or Favors (who would look like superstars playing off of Williams and Kirilenko), but that opportunity wasn't there in this draft. Hayward will probably always be that complementary type player, like a Bobby Jones, who can do a bit of everything and hopefully hit some big shots. What Hayward does give the Jazz is another big guard who can handle the ball, see the bigger picture, make the right pass at the right time, and help set up other players. He could potentially take some pressure off D. Will without getting overpowered on the defensive end.

if hes 6'8 then im 7'4..He looks to be 6'4 maybe 6'5 tops below average athlete or and when ur guarding2s and 3s in the league u betta be an above average athlete

Well he measured out better than that at the combine before the draft. Hayward isn't explosive, but he moves efficiently and is well coordinated. He's not going to dunk over people, but he'll be a player who has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

...who, what , where, when, why and.....wuzz!

 

[carolinajazz]

But when you get a lottery pick, you usually expect an impact player, not a decent role player. Where is his 43% from 3 as a Soph?

....and impact player in that he does what?....come into the league, dominate the ball, throw it all over the place....and force up shots faster than you can count them? Hayward is going to be all right. He's going to fit our system like a glove and he will contribute to our winning way more than our losing!

Please stop making an *** of yourself, its embarrassing for us all. He is 6'6.75 barefoot 6'8" with shoes from the combine measurements. Your eyes see what they want because you are a hater.

Pierce and Ginobili arent exceptional athletes and they do fine.

So hermaphrodites can't even be referred to? How intolerant.

You know, they are people. Really.

This board's going to have a short life if the psychology of write4u is going to be the standard.

That sounded like a personal attack...just saying.

Oh look, a broken record.

I seem to recall you advertising yourself as a libertarian. Must be the Bill Maher wing -- i.e. strike a pose, Vogue -- rather than Murray Rothbard.
