Zach Lowe's take on Hayward's Contract situation

Well if 8-15 is the range, 9 is wayyyyy early IMO.


Kinda like saying, people thinks my stick is 4-10 inches long... realistically it's like 5 inches long, well that's not long, that's wayyyy SHORT.

Way early is Anthony Bennett.

Way early is being drafted earlier than ANY mock draft had positioned you.

Hayward was drafted in his projected range.

Exactly. Lin had no chance coming here. Fact.


He did go to GSW though. Wonder why. LOL.

Maybe because Jeremy Lin was viewed as a D Leaguer, and was cut by even GSW. Probably had a little less to do with him being Asian. I think that the first asian guy to play basketball professionally actually played for the Utah Stars. He was there when Lin came to play the Jazz one night, they made a big TV thing out of it... even though he was Japanese and Lin is Chinese/Taiwanese.

I think the motto for GSW was "Asian - only if he an crack the rotation". Unfortunately Lin couldn't.

Consensus was #12 though.

Draft express didn't even have him in top #14.

Even so, wayyyy early seems a stretch. If you only read draft express (seems a lot of people on here do) then you might think it was way early. Obviously NBA teams don't share your opinion of him being drafted wayyyy early.

If Utah really liked white guys more than any other race, don't you think they would have more white people on the team? We have what, two if you count Kanter as a white guy?

With concurrence of counsel, I respectfully decline to comment further, based on my Fifth Amendment rights not to incriminate myself.




But I'll say this - having 2 whites SOLIDLY in our starting 5 is a lot of whites by NBA standards.
