For people questioning the Hayward offer sheet....

I looked this kid up this morning, admittedly not knowing much about him.

 

Many folks are just looking at his numbers and drawing conclusions without seeing the real reason why he is getting this kind of attention.

 

Don't look at his numbers.... look at his trends.

 

 

In four seasons his points per game, steals, rebounds and assists have gone dramatically up. Last year he had a breakout year, his stats took a huge leap forward. He has the kind of year that grabs the attention of GMs around the league that indicate a player has arrived. Throw in the fact that he is only 24 and it is easy to see why the Hornets like him.

 

Two years ago he had 213 assists. Last year he had over 400. I like that. Take a look at the NBA champs and how many of their finals points came off assists. The NBA is once again trending towards actual team play and away from 1 on 1 street ball, which I love.

 

I hope the Jazz decide to let him walk, but I doubt they will. Anyways, this is a good indication that the Hornets are moving in the right direction.

People are really concerned about his declining 3 pt numbers. Part of the problem is him forcing shots, considering he was/is utah's top scoring option. However, draft express pointed out he changed release in which is left hand (more noticeably his left thumb) stays on the ball too long when he shoots which forces the ball off a bit. I don't think it would be that hard to correct.

G. Hayward is a good player and I hope in the end, he ends up on our roster. I remember watching him that year when Duke and Butler made it to the Championship game. This kid is special and would be a good pick up with this team. He has familiarity with Al and I think he will be a good team player for us. The Spurs showed us that good team play still bring championships and that what we are going for.

This is the exact reason Jordan wanted Chi to handle contracts. With his experience Cho can create loopholes that make it difficult to match. If one of these loopholes is what hampers Utah's plans on matching it's a move well played.

      I'd love to have Eli as our QB. He was a proven baller in the playoffs, and still a legit franchise QB who was better than the majority of the league in the regular season. Honestly the Giants didn't build many great teams around him. Put him in a beneficial situation like Belichick, Reid, Tomlin, etc. run and he could've won more than 2 SBs if you ask me. He was on a lot of bad teams, like really bad teams, throughout his career.   Hell, swap him in for Rivers in the mid-late aughts and I bet he gets the Chargers a SB. Still think that whole draft situation was bullshit and lost respect for Eli there, but whatever.

      Yeah but if you are talking about something like an extremely rarely used or needed play like a QB sneak, it's already a pretty off the rails argument. That doesn't factor in enough to W's and L's to be something that is particularly relevant.  If you want to talk overall arm strength, field vision, footwork, consistency, athleticism, etc on Bryce, those are all valid critiques of his game and why he hasn't been successful. But the oddball obsessions about pretty meaningless aspects are a bit bizarre. QB sneaks? Not enough 40+ yard passes? Workout regimen?? Guys....there is ample stuff to criticize without this kind of nonsense.

      Im not saying he should, but its one more play that's off the table. Do you think the eagles would be as good without the QB sneak?
