it isnt a ones or the other proposition, there's better options out there... i am emphatically stating that hayward is not the solution to play defense at SF
hayward cant guard alot of the SFs we need him to guard, so if you want to talk about his defense in vauge generalities about the course of the season you may be decieved
we hes gotta guard Kevin Durant in the WCF and Russell westbrook is drawing the defense/fouls, Durant will tear Gordon up on an island out near the wing... we need someone to play that type of SF and gordon can stay, if the plan is to have him defend Durant in crunch time
i say thats playing with fire
Let me educate you on the greatness of Hayward.....
First. You name the sf's he can't Guard, and I'll name the ones he can't guard.
Hayward is a great one on one defender as I rarely see him get beat one on one. He is very long, and the few times he does get beat he uses his length tho recover. The bigger sf's will get penetration on him like all other defenders, but even then they have a hard time getting a decent shot off over his long reach and elite timing on the block attemp, also he can guard three positions. Going up against the Labron's of the world he can slide over to sg if need be.
Please continue to underestimate Hayward's abilities, just like all his apponets. Moran!
