I have seen Heyward mentioned in a few free agency threads but he gets a shrug about max money vs other money...which most likley be close to max bc that is his market value.

Heyward is a player I would have on my short list if GM of the Hornets Max money or not...just get him.

A true 6'8 small forward with at a fully developed 220 poumds.  

Strong upperbody to finish in traffic regularly.  Stout defender who plays passing lanes well and has great defensive pursuit to showcase great anticipation and timing on blocks. 

Great shooter, can play a point forward role great feel for the game. Above avg ball handler. Great athletic ability overcoming his chronic condition(full blown WASP'ey)

He would be good enough to push MKG to a bench role where he is best suited at this time. Heyward just offers skills the Hornets have lacked in a wing player that is much needed. 

Likley target: Boston Celtics (to reunite with his coach from Butler)  

35% chance he is a Hornet. 

Season/career highlights but showcase his athletic ability, great balance on drives and outstanding open court defense. 

Jazz vs Thunder 

-his career high game where he is a smooth, fundemental guy with great athletic ability and first step.

I just see him as a high level upgrade to this team and he is deserving of any contract that the likes of a Stephenson would command without the locker room headaches and wild mood swings.

i wouldnt give a max contract, but after watching the highlights I am way more impressed with his game than before.. like most of us, i dont watch to many Jazz games and I think he could be great here (for the right price)

 

Before I seen his highlights I thought he was a one dimensional decent SF. 

 

Man was I wrong.

Imagine Hayward and Stauskas out on the perimeter together.

Ball handling, passing, and shooting for days.

I didn't catch a lot of Jazz games this year, but he only shot 41% from the field and 30% from three. That isn't exactly the most efficient shooting for a wing.

I usually hate just looking at stats but I only watched Utah when they played us, so maybe someone more familiar can fill me in on why his efficiency was way down.

He has shot over 40% from 3, 2 out of his 4 seasons. 

 

When you are the go to scorer who automatically will be forced to take bad shots as the shot clock is winding down. Not to mention being the focal point of the D. 

 

Hayward is a solid - good shooter.

Hayward in Clifford's system Is a 18-20 ppg, 5 rebounds and 5-7 assist guy with shooting numbers in the 40% range from 3.

Is that worth a max contract on just stats????? I think so, not many 18-5-5 guys in the NBA who can shoot the three that well.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.

      Heels let another team go up 20 on them but this time they complete the comeback. HD never seems to have his team ready but he makes great halftime adjustments. Powell played the majority of the second half and his defense was the difference along with his big three pointer to give the Heels the lead for good. Trimble and Davis were also spectacular. Carolina can’t let Auburn get out to a 20 point lead though, they won’t be able to come back from that.
