Do you think we are better off with lance or Gordon Hayward.

I know we can't change it anyways but I was super excited when we offered a max to GH. I

knew his game and thought it played in perfect.

PPG RPG APG

19.2 6.6 5.6

That stat like looks pretty damn nice

I'm not gonna say I'm against lance but up to this point he's really disappointed not only me but the fanbase. Atleast scoring wise.

PPG RPG APG

6.6 10.0 5.6

Now those assists and rebound numbers are pretty damn great for a sg but those ppg are not cool.

So would Gordon Hayward fit this team better. Would we be better off. I'm Not ready to say we are. But I wished we coulda got Hayward. But I think lance can start scoring more we will be pretty great. But what's your thoughts

They both fit fine. Lance has never played with a big guy like Al or a guard like Kemba, so we have 3 guys who need to touch the ball to be effective so it will take some time for them to sort out the best way to play off each other. I like Hayward but I love Lance's relentless approach to the game. Lance is not & may never be a 20 plus scorer .

watching the game, lance is having a large impact regardless of his turnovers and poor shooting, which will improve once he gets used to the system and his new teammates.

 

he is going hard on the defensive side and provides an energy this team needs. could you say the same about hayward? i was under the impression he is offensive minded. the hornets need to stay with their defensive strength imo. we can stretch the floor with out PG and bench SG play.

I like Lance a lot. He is just trying to figure out how to fit in this offense and sometimes he tries to do a bit too much.

As long as he doesn't pout when he makes a mistake or doesn't get a call on offense I have no problems with how he is playing.

His efficiency will go up, he just has to figure it out

IMO we tried to sign Hayward to such a large contract bc we knew he would fit in very well with his outside shooting. So far this season, albeit a small sample size, Lance has not shown his outside touch. I feel like he does good driving but his outside shot is not been on target yet. 

 

Now I am happy with Lance and think he will continue to improve as the season goes along. I also believe we would have had growing pains with Hayward but overall to answer the question I still would have preferred Hayward but Im still very happy with Lance and he does have a larger upside.

QUIT!!!!!

Just fuggn QUIT!

I knew this was going to be brought up today. QUIT!

Literally the only one that added nothing. Just non sense.

It's something to talk about. And considering he was our first choice it is nice to discuss. Bc personal I was super pumped to have a chance at both.

And yes Hayward hit a game winning shot. That's not why I made this. But it did remind me we could have had him.

So instead of discounting everyone and Kemba. Why don't u get off your high horse and try to be slightly tolerable. K thanks

We might be able to have Curry in a couple years too.

Both have similar skills as far as ability to run the offense but Hayward would spread the floor more & open things up for Al & Kemba while Lance strength is his ability to get into the paint & create shots for his teamates. Neal,Roberts,Hairston,Zeller & Williams can stretch the floor.

It's five games.

Hayward looks good right now but that contract is going to hurt Utah in the long run. At the end of the day that core they are giving extensions to probably won't make the playoffs in the really good West, and I don't know if Haywards potential ceiling justifies that deal.

They are two different players and even though he hasn't found his shot yet Lance is still bringing alot to the table, a la MKG before this year. The financial flexibility the Hornets still have going forward IMO is so much better now.

Remember, you have to consider it's not just about Hayward vs. Stephenson. It's about Hayward vs. Stephenson with Hayward at almost twice the contract Stephenson has.

    • Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.
    • Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.
    • Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
