To answer you question, I still hate the pick. I don't think Hayward will ever be a productive starter in the NBA. With that said I was completely wrong about his inability to play defense. I forgot you play defense with your heart as much as your feet and Hayward does seem to play good defense despite his limitations. His shooting has been sporadic and sometimes he seems hesitant to pull the trigger. The reason I want Hayward to play more is because I already know what Bell, CJ and Price bring to the Court. I don't know if Hayward can improve or not. I would love for Hayward to prove me wrong and show he can be productive. I say give the kid a shot for the remaining games. Same goes for Favors and Fes. Let the kids play more and see what you got.

He is 20. So yes i would say there is room for improvement.
 
No Gallinari, but Chandler and Felton have played well for them. Will be a tough game to win. Should we win???
 
I agree with Old Timer. We are already at the point of the season where this team is a ****ing bust. We're done. Might as well see what we have.
 
Raja got a bad rap for the Boston game. For all the people who keep saying that Ray Allen was not scoring when Hayward was in the reason is Ray was either not in the game or they weren't trying to get him shots. I rewatched the game and Raja was doing his best. Is he supposed to be mr perfect or something? A lot of the open look Ray Allen had were not Raja's fault. One of them happened when Kirilenko was messing around with his shoe and didn't get down court leaving Raja to guard two people. Bell's shot may be off but at least he can finish under the basket unlike Hayward. He is a good presence on this team and does not cry when things don't go his way. People should lay off of him.

Give it a rest. I really liked Larry Sanders, Paul George and Patterson much more than Hayward. Since the Jazz didn't resign Mathews I probably would have been forced to take George over Sanders. I liked these players more than Hayward. So what, we don't have them we have Hayward. I've moved on why can't you. If even a Hayward Hater says play the kid, don't you have to wonder why he received a DNP coaches decision only two games ago.

You created a brand new account for this? Bad ***! Great first comment, Mr. Unknown.

Welcome to the board, Raja. (Are there any other players that post on here?)

anyone else find it odd when someone refers to himself in the third person? r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t does.
 
lord-ruler is right.
i rewatched parts of the game, and all the hate towards Bell is ridiculous.

and I am not Bell.

another of Rays 3s came 10 seconds after Ray frigging punched Bell in the face 3 times while bell was posting up.
I am talking about hard punches and elbows!

meanwhile, if Bell is guarding Allen, all Allen has to do is dribble into Bell, and the refs will call a foul on Bell. Total Bull, along with about 20 other total bull calls in the game/.
 
Raja HAS been getting screwed consistently by the refs this season. But that's prolly nothing new, as he has a certain 'rep' around the league. Also, him getting jobbed by the refs really has nothing to do with why he sucks this season.
 
if the refs would call a foul when Allen submarines him or whacks him in the mouth, and not call a foul on Bell when Bell is in position and Allen runs into him , then he'd look like he was playing better.

In more than half of the games I've seen, bell has played just as well other Jazz players making a lot more money than him, that don't get the criticism he does.
