I can respect that but I have a hard time with the naming call because I do not agree with what the organization does all the time. Support your point and quit the name calling. I am talking about some of your other posts. I am actually warming to the pick.. I didn't want Davis and even though I did not feel GH was the BPA I think one can make an arguement that he fits the Jazz system better than some of the other SG/SFs that were available. Personally, I am more upset that the Jazz didn't get another pick to get a big man.

By the way, I was thinking today of who Hayward could best max out as and Rip came to mind. I know he's taller and he's a 3, and not a 2, but that type of guy with average athleticism, with solid overall skills, who's somewhat crafty, and plays strong team defense felt about right to me.
Tell me people aren't saying ridiculous things on here just for the sake of saying ridiculous things. I won't stand by and let this happen.

You refuse to see the facts. Yes, we are done. I would like to know these mystery people who thought he was the BPA at 9. Was it his sister? Did she also think he should have gone number 1 over Wall? Don't answer that. We know your deluded opinion.
Most of my name calling is in jest except for the true morons. I'll try to tone it down just for you though.

Easy, Mullet. No need to call people names. Strong feelings in either direction is only asking for trouble. Everyone relax and realize it's only basketball.
Hayward is skilled in many areas and yet he's only 20 years old. There's a reason why he already has many fans who have said they were cheer for him no matter where he goes, even a Laker fan said that. They like his heart and how he plays the right way. Just watch some highlight film and you'll get the idea.
Of course, I would've loved someone like Favors, but that turned out to be impossible. The Jazz tried to move up but were denied--same with everyone else who tried. As for the 9th pick, based on a lot more information then we have at our disposal, they picked Hayward. No sense in arguing about it now. It's done. Let's focus on trades and free agents now.
honz, don't let the talk get to you. Hayward is a very good player, Jazz made the right choice. The answer to the Jazz's problems was not available when they chose. Kosta and Fess being the only bigs is a little scary, but I believe the Jazz have something in the works that will bring in a good big man. Utah still has two great players in DWill and Miles, four very good players in Millsap, Mathews, Drei, Okur, and Hayward will fit in great, much more versatile than Korver, although not a lights out three shooter.

Thanks for your input, Mrs. Miles. Seriously, solid post, but even as a CJ supporter I wouldn't come close to calling him a great player. Not yet at least.

Of course KOC was targeting him. It's all part of his genius "stick-man" basketball team plan.

Maybe that's why O'Connor mentioned the 2-yr. thing. Hayward is leaving on a mission right after the OSL.

He does. I've seen his house. Vaulted ceilings in the entryway and master bedroom.

BPA? Questionable. WPA. Without a doubt.

Much more impressive than I knew. Two things from this though:
1) His supposed amazing length. It's not that special. In fact, it's about average, if that, for 3's nowadays.
2) KOC and FO saying he's as good as Wesley Johnson? Really? WJ is a much better athlete, shooter, defender, rebounder, etc. Hayward may be more creative with the ball but that's about it.

I can agree that I think George will be a bitch and a bust.
No, he doesn't have great length...his wingspan is rather disappointing. And I believe KOC said that Hayward was the best player on the floor at the end of the Butler/Syracuse game.

So one has been exaggerated and thanks for clarifying two. Beyond that, **** you. I hate this pick.
Though admittedly I'm warming up. If he's deceptively quicker than I think, he does have very good moves/ball handling (I always look for that in guys) as well as great body control in the air to finish.
