Hayward is the #8th ranked swing (SG/SF)

Cryone Torbin predicted 3.5 rpg and said "Hayward will never average 5 rebounds per game. One of the weaker 6'8 rebounders I have seen."
neg rep'd me for "worst prediction ever" My prediction may have been lame, but it seems Cryone is giving me a run for my money as "worst ever."

PS: 10 game is a pretty paltry sample size and I doubt Hayward will end on top over the likes of Hardin, Shefolsha, Butler and returning Kobe.
 
I think Corbin changed the rebounding strategy as a way to pad Hayward's stats and give him more confidence as it helps earn him all star votes. Pretty good planning, IMO.
 
When Kanter starts rebounding like he did before, than Haywards stats will go down a bit.

Gordon top and Kyle bottom huh. That's actually what I would have guessed.
 
Of course hes the top rebounding guard. Anyone with Lucas on their team has a great shot at being top dog.
 
This is the most surprising thing about his game this year. I used to get pissed after he would have 3 rebounds in 36 minutes game after game. I didn't think he would change either, but he's doing just what he should with his size at the 2.
 
Well there are more opportunities to rebound since the Jazz miss so many shots. I also think Hayward is trying harder to rebound.
 
I guess when you're the worst shooting team in the NBA, there are more rebounds to be had.

Just 1.3 offensive rebounds per game, though. Most of his rebounds are on the defensive end, after all. Only Arron Afflalo gets more.
