No... I don't think that's what he's saying. I understood it as "If he plays well, he'll be elevated among members of this board to a potential-Olajuwon. Otherwise he'll be completely dismissed."

Exactly. Same thing happened with Hayward. Hayward played like crap 80% of the season, then has a pretty good last 20%. All of the sudden we are talking about him making all-star games. Obvisouly I was using a hyperbole that anyone would compare him to Olajuwon, but I wouldn't put it past some posters.

But to be fair, Hayward's trajectory is going very strongly in the right direction. Better to start slow and finish strong, as a young player especially.

Also, this is coming from one of Hayward's biggest (former) haters. I don't know where he'll end up qualitatively in the scheme of things, but I do view him as a core piece in this rebuild.
 
Hayward did not play like crap in the games I saw earlier in the season. I don't see a lot of games, but in the ones I saw he showed potential.

He got abused a few times early (Vince Carter comes to mind...Hayward doesn't have the strength to defend a lot of NBA 3s), and looked pretty lost/scared. He settled down a lot at the end of the season, and the results speak for themselves.

I think some of this was he just got no respect from the refs too.
 
Hayward was strongly in the running for the worst player in the NBA up until January. He was AWFUL.

Me too, but I don't view him as a future All-Star, rather an extremely good role player.
 
Back to the subject, these games are EASILY the most exciting thing to happen since the draft.
 
Does anyone know enough about the Turkish team to know whether there's any reason to expect Kanter to get playing time? This is the first game on a very established team for a 19-year old after a long time off. If we're hoping to see Kanter, is the best we can hope for a blowout (not inconceivable against Ukraine)?

I believe both of the other NBA big men on the team are injured, those two being semih erden and Omer asik. I think he should get some minutes, hopefully 15-25.
 
The first game will start in 2 hours, i wonder everyone's first impression about kanter, including mine
