Is Gordan Hayward considered to have elite athleticism at the SF position?

[masonanddixon]

I notice a lot of draft boards were racist and claimed he was below average or average, but he seems to be one of the better athletes in the league now.

[buddha]

no. if you watched the team usa scrimmages this summer you noticed he was a step slower than everyone.

[Im so nba'd out]

He's white....and not one of them athletic full blooded whites from a specific country but a watered down american mixed with everything mut white.....

So the answer is no he does not have elite athleticism:durantunimpressed:

[christian1923]

No but he knows when to make the right play and has a creative wit to his game.

He's a better athlete than he got credit for coming out of school.

For a white guy college or outside of the NBA he's athletic. When compared to the rest of the NBA he's about average. I'm not talking about what his vert is or anything like that so please don't tell me it's 38" and better than so and so's. I mean watch him play and see if he can beat people and keep up with them on defense. I'd say that he's about average for the NBA. It's like being pissed that a 6'6" guy isn't listed as "tall". Yeah sure he's tall but compared to the NBA he's not tall. How you could even ask the question of he's considered "elite" is just beyond me. Are you aware of what elite means?

Well he has an inordinate number of dunks and chase down blocks for someone of merely average athleticism.

Jazz have been tanking. Be easier to judge next year when they put a roster around him and Gobert that's trying to win. He a very good athlete not elite.
