All this talk in free agency about how Brad could better utilize him and make him a 30 PPG guy... basically every reason he highlighted for going to Boston looks like closed doors on any of those possibilities.Hayward's usage is now under 20% which is around where it was his second year in the league. When he's on the floor with the starting unit in the set offense he's pretty much been relegated to a decoy. He stands in the corner waiting for if/when the defense collapse on Kyrie.
Last night during the stretch run against GSW Hayward sat on the end of the bench emotionless with a towel over his mouth - I'm sure this must be killing him.
Of course, perhaps Brad said he’d score 13 PPG and everyone thought he said 30. But still, he’s falling short even if Brad said 13.
