Why we are going to draft Gordon Hayward...

[Revolution 9]

It's good he'll be raining 3s all day, because he's going to be a speed bump on defense.

Mix in a period, you novel writing wannabe.

I was just hoping to confuse the BeanRavin's of the board.

FYI: I wouldn't be surprised to see OKC trade the #10, Harden and something else to move up to get Cousins. Just saying.

I would love to see the Jazz trade up and take a chance on Cousins, but does anyone thing the Jazz would even consider doing that since they've always been character first, talent second.

Just like John Stockton couldn't cut it physically in the NBA. Seriously, get a clue bro.

Lol, comparing Gordon Wayward to one of the greatest passers, defenders, ball theifs, tough nosed players of all time. Embarrassing.

Yeah, you don't get it and are an idiot. Thanks for playing. GTFO of my thread now...please.

I mean, like, really, what is it with alla yawl whiners, eh? The Jazz finish tied for the 3rd best record in the Western Conference this year, just 1 game behind Dallas, but they can't beat LA without two of their starters, so now they just suck and need to blow up the team, fire the coachin staff, and start playin "random basketball," that the idea, is it?

Who's whining about the team? this thread is about Hayward there has been no mention of blowing up the team.. Take a break, get away from it for awhile.

 

[friendsinmyhead]

Year in, year out, the Jazz beat "elite teams" with just those type of guys. Not every time in the playoffs, mebbe, but, still.....

Yeah, playoffs don't really matter. We can beat them in November and thats what counts...right? right?

Hayward will be another white stuff with nothing to contribute in the NBA.

Hayward is not a bad choice. You have to give the guy some credit: he actually led his team to #2 rankings in NCAA and is only 20. He can be a very sold player. What concerns me though is lack of athleticism. SG/SF position features the most athletic players in NBA, and it might be a tough transition. I would be really happy with Hayward if we picked in high teens. For #9 it would be nice to get someone with less of a question mark. But, Hayward is not bad ... for a high teen selection.

I think a slightly better choice though might be Henry. He was the best player on #6 rated team, 2nd leading scorer there and has tremendous athleticism. Only 19 years old, and a good shooter with 3 point range. I think his skills have a better chance translating to next level than Hayward's.

Another guy is Babbitt, but he played crap competition all year. Sure, numbers are good, but reminds me too much of Kris Humphries as a prospect. Basically, a huge gamble which may or may not work out. At 9 you want a bit more certainty.

To me Henry gives the best chance of becoming a good player in NBA.

Who will the Jazz take tonight? Yeah, I still remember your "someone told me the Jazz are drafting Brewer" declaration.

 

[Stifle Tower]

happy birthday Honz! The best thing about Gordon Hayward is how much is looked like his college coach. He probably looks a bit like you, too! Is that why you like him so much?

i think we should try to play a game and see how many words we can make from the letters in his name: G O R D O N H A Y W A R D

award
ward
yard
adorn
wad
wood
hay
how....

no really, I like him, and he had quite a decent tournament. Too bad they didn't win, I was pulling for Butler!

No Hayward

Funny. I figured he would have more likely known about Lopez.
