Nothing more than what I already saw from him ( or JV ). It is only matter of time now. I give them both 3 years to either prove me wrong or right.

Agree. Out of all the players available, KOC picked 1 out of the 3 that has done well in the league thus far. I remember there were quite a few that wanted X. Henry, Patterson, Babbitt or Aldrich. George would have been fantastic. Hayward and Bledsoe are both very good. Other than those 3...not so good a draft from #9 down. It truly was a weak draft. That KOC managed to get a decent player says a lot about his ability.

Paul George averages 16.9 PTs per 36. Hayward averages 18.4. George gets more rebounds, and has teammates who play defense and a coach who plays his best players. Is George a good player? He's great. But so is Hayward. So your argument doesn't work. If you want to argue this then you should also argue that the jazz screwed themselves by not offering the max to lebron James in free agency.
The Pacers don't have an offensive-minded center who uses a lot of possessions. If this were the case here, Hayward would probably be starting and putting up George-esque numbers.

But Hayward does put up numbers like George. He is more efficient offensively. The only thing George does better numbers wise is rebound. ( probably a better defender too ). Hayward's per 36 points are better. If he got the Sam minutes as George then he would be considered just as good.
I meant per game, since Hayward would probably play more.

I'd rather have George, but do we really need to explain why this is a silly argument?
Nice trolling by cyclo.
14 ppg. 3.0 rpg. 2.6 apg. 0.8 spg. 42% fg.
Mediocre numbers. NOT an all-star. A catastrophic mistake.
Would have been nice to see all-star Paul George in a Jazz uniform (have fun watching George in the NBA playoffs), but the Jazz needed a Mormon choir boy for the community (or a player who looks like one).
The Gordon Hayward Jazz are in a tailspin..................................
.................falling...................................... out of the playoffs.
It's not about winning. It's about community!

Time to put cyclo out of his misery. A quote from a Brandon Knight thread. Even if you would have picked George over Hayward (I didn't check), you would have drafted us the biggest bust in the lottery in 2011. You are smarter than KOC, no, I really mean it....
