Worried about Hayward

This weird season should be a blessing to guys like Gordon and Favors, guys with the experience of a rookie year behind them and young legs to keep going. They'll have to shrug off bad games really quickly and just go-go-go. Add in the trade flurries (not all of which I'm down with) and they should get lots of time. I'm curious how the short season will impact rookies. They haven't gotten used to the regular season grind and now they'll be out there without the benefit of much practice time in between games. It'll be hard to learn a system during time outs or when they're benched for missing rotations... Gordo should know what he's doing (in spite of some changes) and just need adjustments.
 
Ok, I know that it is only a couple of preseason games, but Hayward has looked terrible. We know he has heart, and we have seen some really good games from him, but the lockout seems to have left him quite rusty. So many people seem to think that CJ is gone after this season, but right now he looks better than hayward. Yeah, I know, CJ has the consistency of a teenager in puberty, but Hayward had better get his act together if he wants to claim a spot in the rotation.
What you expected him to be a star in the preseason, besides I warned you he would start slow. He'll come around though.
 
"I have no life, so I decided to hyper-analyze a certain situation and really fret about its current circumstance".
Fan is short for fanatic, it comes with the territory, otherwise none of us would be here.

As for my expectations of him, I had hoped that he'd at least be able to keep himself on the floor.
 
Phil Johnson was saying on the post game show the other night that Hayward's knowledge of the offense is very advanced and he gets into trouble because he expects the other players to make the right reads in the offense. When they don't he gets stuck in bad situations.

Wow, a rational post, and one that actually helped me understand what's going on. Thanks for being a human, not a troll. As for all the 'trade him' comments, I think that we need the season to start, folks are getting a little cranky.
