I just like his defense. Nobody here thought he would be as good on the deffensive side of the ball. i perdict he will be the next Jazz All-Star!

I could be wrong, but I think I'm the first to say Hayward would be an All-star. Last nights performance by Hayward Confirms to me we don't need any more high draft picks Hayward needs to get some playoff experience. I agree that Hayward will be our first All-star, and Favors will soon follow. We need to build around those two. We need a pg in the mold of Marshall and one or two players that can spread the floor. Burks is the slasher get to the line guy. I don't see stardom in his future, but the perfect player to put with Hayward and Favors.
 
Thats what I thought. re: Dantley
Hayward is not really a shooting guard now either....
How many times have SFs done 20 10 for the Jazz?

It's good to see somebody on the team putting together some nice games though.
 
Hayward's outdone himself. 20 and 10 is elite for a SG.
I hope he continues this, cause I have him being the best of the Four.
 
I don't see Hayward regressing to start next season. If you look at the circumstances heading into this season, the slow start is somewhat understandable. First of all, he didn't start to come on until really late in his rookie year. IMO he was just starting his ascent as soon as the season ended. Then, he's hit with a lockout that stops him from working out with his team, getting more comfortable with his new coach, etc. Thanks to the condensed season, everybody on this Jazz team has had to try and get better without having almost any practice time to speak of.

I agree. Plus this is more consistent than the flashes he showed last year. He has been playing this way game in and game out for the last 2 weeks. I think he has turned the corner and will continue his progression. I think he will be even better next year.

You guys think 20 ppg, 5 rpg, 5 asp, 1 spg and 1 bpg are possible?

To average numbers like that, you have to be insanely consistent. They're very lofty, but not impossible.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Hayward just post the first back-to-back 20 point games of his career?

I'm pleased that he's playing less timid than earlier in the year. However, he still appears timid going down the stretch of tight games at times. Another important step for him is to start taking crunch time shots more often.
