"Butler coach Brad Stevens offered a strong endorsement of Hayward as a player as well as the Jazz as his NBA home. His son, in fact, will be getting a Jazz jersey for his fifth birthday with Hayward’s No. 20."

Because no one of relevance ever has worn that number before.

Give him 33 and pray to god he turns out like this man.
This dude would never be able to defend or get his shot off in today's modern NBA. Guys like J-smooth and Lebron would send this 3 point attempt into the nosebleed section.

False. Larry was a nasty dude and a legit baller. He was a true 6'9 forward with a high release. He had a nice drop step and was a great passer. Larry in his prime would give Josh Smith and Lebron fits. Those guys make the highlights for their defensive plays from the weakside or in an open-court situation. Larry played the angles, read the defense, etc. He only needed a little space to get his shot off. Bird also played in the NBA where very hard fouls and thrown punches were common. Larry was tough as nails...unfortunately his back didn't hold up (but I imagine he played through a LOT of pain in his late career).

And Larry's mustache was made entirely of pubic hair.

the bird comparison drives me nuts. do people realize how unfair it is to compare this kid (or any new draftee) to one of the 5 best players of the modern era?? i'm trying to buy into the hayward pick, but it's not gonna help if i'm waiting for him to turn out like legend. that bar is set ridiculously high for a kid who looks like he could mow my lawn for $10 this summer. it's like the opposite of comparing paul george to tmac.

I agree with this post. I think for the most part it's wishful thinking on Jazz fanz part that Haywad doesn't turn into an incredibly stiff player... Im already expecting the kid to suck eggs of epic proportions.
