Discuss Gordon Hayward
How do you feel about his progress over the season? Will he ever be an All star? Was he a better pick for the Jazz than Paul George? Future captain and leader of the team?
Not long ago David Locke said "this team will one day be Gordon's team and the players are waiting for it to happen". I thought at the time that his comment was a little premature. Gordon Struggled for about 8 games after that statement was uttered.i've noticed that Locke has become much more modest in his Gordon Hayward Comments. Hayward is an interesting player to me. He has a lot of skills and abilities. I do think that if he is not derailed by injuries and continues to work hard, the rock bottom of his potential is solid starter in the league. I think Hayward will be more than that though. I think the numbers he'll be able to put up on average will be something like 15-18 ppg 4 assists 4-5 boards. His progression over the season has been great. I became a little incredulous at one point about if Hayward would ever be able to shoot a decent percentage; i think he'll be just fine as his career continues. he is starting to figure out where his spots are on the floor as well as how to approach each game. I've never questioned his tough play. He plays hard and he's tough. He's earned my respect for that. He does things that help you win games. He is a great system player (the Spurs would love to have him i imagine) and so i think he'll be better for the Jazz than Paul George. Also, I think he is more appealing to the Utah Jazz fan base. The fact that he is a clean cut kid from Indiana with no tattoos does play a role there . I think he will eventually make the All-star team. and i do indeed think that as the young core of the Jazz grows up, he'll emerge as the leader.
