I watched some of the first half and felt Hayward looked tentative out there. Others have noted the same and said he looked much more comfortable in the second half which is good. For me, that's most important. I want to see that he's confident out there and plays without thinking too much, like Ronnie use to always do.

Very solid box score too.

He needs to teach KoKo how to correct that **** at half time.
 
I was happy overall with Hayward's performance. He shows that he can help a team even when the ball isn't in his hands. I think he will really start to shine when he learns the offense and has a real PG dishing to him. I know Gaines hustles, but he seemed more interested in playing out of control on the offensive end. Maybe I wouldn't be as bothered if he could make a free throw, but he didn't seem to get anyone else involved in the offense and that is his job.
 
That came up with nothing. If the only way is illegal, then fine, but I thought some people here were watching for free, either on KJZZ or streamed.

Real GM agrees with you:

Hayward's perimeter shot is far from terrible and looks like it should be more effective, but it is mechanically flawed. He has too much left hand on his shot, as it extends almost even with his right-hand follow-through. The purest shooters will have almost no movement at all with their left (guide) hand where it is completely silent, but it is far too pronounced for Hayward.

Hayward does a good job of setting his feet, squaring up to the bucket and he has good arc and rotation, but the follow-through holds him back from being a far more accurate shooter. I have little doubt that his shooting flaws are correctable and will be sorted out, but this isn't a part of his game his team will immediately be able to rely upon.

There is sometimes a common logic that small school stars will see their shooting efficiency increase in the NBA because they won't see the same kind of defensive attention as they did in school, but Hayward frequently received clean, wide-open looks and teams were much more concerned with stopping his dribble penetration.

Because Hayward isn't a pure shooter and possibly never become one, he doesn't have that safety net of becoming an off the bench three-point specialist. His NBA success could become an all or nothing equation of whether or not he can successful be a shotmaker off the dribble, which is most translatable skill.

Sounds like it's time for some Jeff Hornacek tutoring.
 
Whoever suggested we pick up Orton on our summer league roster please feel free to jump from that ledge you are standing on.
