Evans - Hayward - Fes .. now what ?

A large portion of Hayward's struggles comes from being extremely uncomfortable with the offense. How is he going to learn the Jazz offense properly in the Dleauge? Its best to just keep him on the team so he can practice with them.

While I agree with this he really should have been left home during this road trip. He's not going to play much and there is hardly any practice time on a roadie like this one. But now that it's too late for that maybe they will send him down next road trip.

I can easily see the talent there. As opposed to a guy like Morris Almond where I couldn't see any during his rare appearances. What I don't see is confidence and knowledge of the system.

i agree with this. I saw no talent with Almond. Hayward seems to have the talent. But he came to a team already with lots of talent and that has got to be difficult. Some of the rookies drafted around him went to teams with no talent and are in positions to be main players right away. He has to earn his spot and it has got to hurt confidence to realize that you are no where near as ready as the guys you are competing with for minutes.

I don't expect anything from Hayward for the rest of this season and most if not all of next. If by year 3 he's still terrible I'll not only be surprised but ready to call him a bust.
