If hayward averaged 24 points?

Would you all be mad? What would it take to convince you that he turned into a 1st option? Isn't this season to see if our guys have the ability to be an Allstar? What if one of them turns into it this season costing us a top pick?

Let's just see how the season goes. We can't control anything so why get mad. It's a win win opportunity.

Hayward had an absolutely amazing game last night, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Baby steps...if he strings together 3-4 games in a row where he scores 20-25 pts and shoots over 50%, maybe he's turning the corner and on his way towards becoming a #1. But based on 4 years of data, Hayward typically follows up a big game with a huge stinker. Inconsistency is his middle name.

In order for G-time to average 24 ppg this season, he'll have to average 29.7 ppg the rest of the season (assuming he plays all 82 games). If by some huge miracle he could pull this off, then of course he's capable of being a #1 and would deserve a max contract.

....with his outside shot.....Hayward couldn't average 24 points in a closed gym with no one guarding him!

Your mother managed to get lucky, why can't Hayward?

Severe racialism in dis thread.

Very true, I wasn't really just basing it off of last nights game. It just seems like a lot of people don't believe that he could ever be a 1st or 2nd option. I'm just curious on what he would have to do to convince people. I guess he'd have to score more, and shoot better.

I would be thrilled with him averaging 24 ppg. If he can do that and still maintain his increased assist and rebounding numbers it means that he has turned into that player that we all want the Jazz to get. I'd prefer to have him average that next to Parker but the chances of Hayward doing that and landing Parker are fairly remote.

last night was the 3rd straight game of him doing just that

are you saying he turned the corner?

In January (3 games - v. Bucks, @ Lakers, v. Thunder) he is averaging 27ppg, 5.7 rpg, 5 apg, 2 spg and 1 bpg in 39 mpg. He is shooting 60% fg, 64% from 3 and 89% from the FT line. He has only 2.3 TOs pg and 1.3 fouls per game.

That is awesome to see..... wish he would turn the corner after we signed him for 10 million per year or less though.

You know the haters cant ever say that...now it must be 10-15 games, then possibly 20-25..then we will see if it happens for a season..not saying I disagree, but they set bars that they then change because it doesn't fit with the hate

I have to agree that 3 game si not enough as his 2 games prior to that were bad games. But it clearly shows that Hayward is capable. I think he will get there. Especially if the other teams primary focus is on another player like Parker.

I cannot tell you all how bad I want to see Parker and Hayward on the wings. That would be absolutely deadly.

Im probably thought of as a hater (criticize corbin a lot... support the tank) but I have always believed that Hayward, burks, kanter, and favors would be very good players and have always supported them.
