Hey, let's look at the reality of the situation. The verdict is far from over. It takes a couple / three years to really know who made the right selection. At the very least, it takes an NBA season. So, let's just calm down and wait and see how this turns out. This is only the beginning of the off-season. Look what happened last year. We pulled Matthews out of a hat.

He weighs 180 lbs. Board is not overreacting.
Very true man, and thanks for being a calming influence here, I think we need that. God knows I'm just as guilty, and god also knows I've been saying we are just one more "Wes Mathews" away from a title..........

In the meantime I just heard the door slam. It was Deron getting the hell out of here.

Quick, name me the last successful 180 pound small forward in the NBA.
I think you are missing the bigger picture. Even if he turns out to be great it won't matter.
Where are you getting 180 from?

"They booed John Stockton, too" isn't a comforting argument, KOC.
Having no clue how good anyone is, all I can say is that over the years, pretty much all the posters have proven they don't have much more of a clue than I do.
Besiodes, having write4u tell other people to calm down is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

He probably wasn't the last, but Kirilenko came in right around 210, just like Hayward---AK is an inch taller, however.

Kirilenko is a far better athlete, longer, and taller than Hayward. Seriously, comparing the two would be like comparing Dwade to JJ Redick.

The question you asked for an answer to didn't ask, even implicitly, for any talent comparison. Any other complaints, whiner?

AK is much longer, much more athletic, and much more talented. I've seen him listed at 180 and 200, but either way Hayward is a stick figure. My eyes can't possibly be that messed up.

Are you seriously claiming that Gordon Hayward has even close to the same bulk as Andrei Kirilenko? Have you actually seen any pictures of him?

So how is this Jazz team without Korver, Memo(injured) and Boozer going to be any better than last years team?
