Not sure it means anything more than he's putting up numbers on a bad team. Some team will throw a massive contract at him like what happened with Big Al whether the Jazz win or lose.
 
I don't know what any of this means and I'm tired. lol. Maybe I'll come back to it.

Keep in mind that some of those 0 pt 4th quarters were the result of little or no playing time due to being pulled out since the score was so ridiculous.

I find it basically impossible to criticize Hayward so far. The guy right now is far and away the best passer on the team. I thought he would have a hard time shooting 40% from the floor this season, and yet he's shooting a respectable 45%. He still is a decent defender and he has improved his defensive rebounding a lot. I'm pretty sure his FT and 3 point percentage will improve. He could get to the line a little more, but aside from that, I don't think he can do much more.
Kanter and Favors, on the other hand, seem exactly the same players they were last season, with more playing time, touches on offense and worse defense.

True minutes in the 4th quarter probably important to have.
 
The fact is without a consistent flow on offense, everyone is going to look lost. Hayward is trying to play outside of his comfort zone and is trying to do way too much. The entire team needs to learn to play within a system, which we seem to currently lack. All I see is on ball screens over and over or a pass to the post. No cuts to the basket, for the post player to dump too, etc. Sure, there are a few off ball screens when they run a semblance of the UCLA, Motion or Flex offense, but they are half-hearted and while they position to screen, they don't actually screen a defender. Part of this is a product of the screened defenders man not properly setting up the screen, and part of it is the people we have setting screens aren't setting good picks.

I enjoyed watching the team with limited talent in 04/05 because they ran efficient sets. This team has gobs of talent, but they aren't running anything.
