Because Hayward will be an all-star at some point.
He will never be an all star. He is not better shooter then Hornacek and no better rebounder then Harpring and neither one was all-star. How you expect Hayward to become one is beyond my understanding. He might become a decent role player/starter in NBA but All-Star? Sorry not going to happen.
I can easily see Hayward getting 15 because he scores in several ways. He can drive, curl off screens, spot up, and finish fast breaks. Hayward isn't always able to create his own shot, but he is in no way a one dimensional scorer. Hayward will get his if given the opportunity.
Aside from that he's a pretty savvy defender and seems to be a team player. I wouldn't pencil him in for All-NBA but there's no reason he couldn't make some All-Star games in his career.
Also His rookie shooting #s are substantially better than Hornacec's rookie #s.
Because his game isn't dominant. To be a STAR you have to have a dominant game. He is a spot-up shooter who has the ability to go off the bounce and the IQ to use his strengths to benefit others. He is a glue guy. Hopefully he will turn out to be a really good glue guy (Mike Miller).
I like Hayward as much as the next reasonably intelligent member of Jazzfanz does, but he isn't the 2nd coming of Larry Bird. Also, people want to act like Hayward is a kind of PG stuck in a SF's body. The kid has never averaged over 2 APG in his career. He also isn't that great of rebounder for being 6'8. He only got 4.1 per 36 minutes last year. This guy is going to have to work hard to be as good as Miker Miller was. Let's focus on him becoming a legitimate starter before becoming a star.

I enjoy how you use the word "never" when were talking about a player who has just finished his first season, and a player who statistically played better than both of they players you mentioned in their respective rookie careers.
PS Jeff Hornacek was an All-Star in 1991 you ****ing maroon.And work on your grammar.
Take your absurd Hayward-hate elsewhere, preferably to a forum for the team that AK currently plays for
so you didn't watch the Lakers or the Nuggets game? He couldn't have been more dominating in those games.Because his game isn't dominant. To be a STAR you have to have a dominant game.

Oh really? So you trying to teach me grammar and called me maroon??? what a tool....
this is box score from 1991 ALL star game... Hornacek is not there. So that is one false claim. Harpring had better stats then Hayward in his rookie year ( 8.2pts, 4.3reb vs 5.4 and 1.9) - make that two. Who is maroon here? ROFL... Must be cold in Deadmonton huh? thats why you are so grumpy?

So he didn't average over 2 APG in his first and only year. Nice basis for judgement. I personally thought he showed great court awareness and the ability to run the offense ala Odom, and I hope Corbin gives him that chance.
I was including his 2 years at Butler. Not saying he isn't a good passer, but he won't be able to run an offense efficiently.
I didn't know he was asked to run the offense at Butler.
I see what you mean, no one ever becomes better at anything in the NBA, they are all exactly the player that came out of college.
Compare their last 3 months.Again, I mentioned this in another thread. If we look at Haywards entire season, it is unimpressive. However, if we look at the last couple of his months of play, he excels Harpring and Hornacek. Nice try, you lose yet again.
LMAO, I did not lose anything to you you delusional homer! So I am childish, lol but you not at sticking to those last three month instead of looking at all season? Give me a break.... you can't erase first part of the season where he plain sucked!!! Good at least you not as blind as the Hayward worshiper who thinks two games vs Lakers and Nuggets makes Hayward a future all star.
Let me ask you one last question... If Hayward would be playing for Kings and had similar stats and end of the season, would you still proclaim him the "star" you
think he is going to be? Be honest!
You absolutely can judge Gordon heavily on what he did at the end of the season. There is no logical reason you can't. Why should we judge Gordon when he didnt have the ball in his hands, had a different coach, and completely different team since Deron was there as opposed to what he did most recently with our current roster and coach?
Wes was good pretty much from the start as a rookie but he didnt become really good until the second half of the year and more importantly the very end of the season. The Blazers didnt give him that great deal based on his overall play they gave him his huge deal based on what he was doing at the very end of the year.
