Hayward

As much as I think it will hurt Hayward's confidence to send him down to the D-League, it might be the best option if he isn't going to be getting any minutes. I don't see how he is going to improve unless he gets more than 4-5 minutes every other game.

And how will he improve playing against scrubs and not learning the system? I can see when they go on their X-mas road trip leaving him here to play for the flash and getting some minutes. They don't really practice on that stretch anyway, but right now they have a ton of games at home lots of practice time chances and he will learn more watching the system being ran than watching a bunch of ball hogs out for personal glory in the D-League.
 
Hayward's problem isn't necessarily knowing the system or not, it's that he's a spazz that sucks. He needs game-time to find anything resembling a rhythm and confidence. Right now, he has neither of those.
 
Maybe. And he should definitely find a rhythm and confidence playing against the no defense scrubs in the D-league. I don't know, I'm not a fan of the D-league but can see limited use in this case where he needs to find his shot and needs to learn to relax a little on the court. I'd still wait until the Xmas road trip to send him down though. If rhythm and confidence is what he needs he should only go there for a limited stretch anyway.
