Sanders is much better than Hayward

He will be a bench player at most. Maybe a dunleavy if we are lucky. Sanders is ok but id much rather have taken luke babbit. Him and dwill would of been unstopable in the pick and roll game. Babbit will be a better pro then g.h. mark it down

Hayward > Babbit

It should be noted that Babbit has said he wants to grow his hair back out, so we would be forced to watch this if we drafted him

oK SINCE YOU WANNA GO THAT ROUTE.So is he better then john wall too who also had 4 other firt rounders? Babbit will be a stud in the nba. Best white american prospect in some time if you ask me. What if babbit would of went to ohio state like he was going too. Then this argument wouldnt exist cuz him and turner would ahve been unstopable. Butler has better players and coachs then nevada and also play in a weaker confrence

Well, if it is the 07/08 version with better defense I think we would gladly take it.

Yes, please explain. Did you watch the summer games? Hayward had that shot a few times.
You could argue Babbitt is a better prospect. Some on this board were pushing hard for Luke. He's an inch taller and 15 lbs pounds heavier, a true SF prospect. I think what it probably came down to is KOC saw Hayward as a guy who might be able to play SG as well as SF. If that proves to be true, you create a tremendous mismatch at the 2. How many teams can match up with a 6'8" guard? I think "Flash" will have no problem in terms of ballhandling and increasing his range a few feet. What it will come down to is defense. Can he stay in front of opposing 2's?


I'll bet Hayward, Babbitt and George were all ranked pretty closely, along with half a dozen others. I expect Babbitt might get the same amount of playing time as Hayward as a rookie. Guess we'll know in the next couple of years who the better pick ends up being.

I think they chose Hayward over Babbit because they see Hayward has "it". He just has a better feel for the game and is more clutch. They also wanted another player who could handle the ball and make plays.

Babbit has a very good feel for the game. Hayward played in a small college and needs to add alot of weight. He will just be a b ench player his whole nba career while babbit will at very least be a serviceable starter
 
I don't think this draft was very deep, but Hayward, Babbitt, and Sanders look like they'll be good picks

By the way I am re-watching the first game right now. And guess what, its not getting better. Time after time the announcers questions why Hayward is not shooting more and why he is not even in the game. I'm not talking about forcing shots, I'm talking about taking good shots or driving to the hole. 22 shots the enitre summer league. Basically he shot when he was completely wide open. I do agree that Gaines was pounding the rock way too much, but Hayward was not great. In the Indiana game he could not guard anyone. It was almost Boozer like.

If you take away Sanders first game the rest of the summer league was outstanding. Getting big Al did not remove the need for a big, shot blocker in the middle. Sanders is going to be a better player in this league than Hayward. I truly do hope that I'm proven wrong.

Posted for irony. Re-watching Hayward's first game and he doesn't look awesome, but ignore Sanders' first game because he doesn't look awesome? ;)

The one thing I like about GH is he played quite efficiently in Orlando, overall. It will be interesting to see what happens when he has the all-stars passing him the ball. I was pissed when we drafted him, but hope the guy proves me and a majority of this board wrong...
