Gordon Hayward is rated way too high in the si.com top 100

[Hit_Em]

Im just going to say what everyone is thinking.He is by far the 3rd best player on that team if you actually watch the games maybe even 4th to be honest.No way is he a top 35 player in the league no way no how!Take the 34 people all above him out of the nba you're going to tell me with a straight face he would be the best player in the league... GET THE **** ON OUTTA HERE!

Who ever did those rankings boooooooooooooooooooyyy kill yourself

EDIT:THEY HAVE THIS FUKING SCRUB RATED AS THE 31ST BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE OVER PEOPLE LIKE PAUL MILLSAP,ANDRE DRUMMOND,PAUL GASOL, AND FINALS MVP ANDRE IGUODALA.WHAT HAS THIS POS EVER DONE TO WARRANT BEING RATED THIS FUKING HIGH ON ANY TOP PLAYERS LIST!

i'd trade d'angelo russell for hayward

[Fallen Angel]

19 ppg, 5 apg, 4 rpg, 1 spg on 45%, 36%, 81%

What three players on the Utah Jazz are better than Hayward?

Gobert is clearly the best player on the team, Hayward is nr.2

[90sgoat]

No troll, I think Hayward could get a breakthrough season, something like 24 - 7 - 6.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

OP's mom abandoned him in his basement to procreate with the white man. It's the only explanation why this poor bastard spends his days trolling.

[DMV2]

Hit_Em/Im so nba'd out/You cant ban me is a whiteboy pretending to be a racist black guy. That's his gimmick.

[ralph_i_el]

:facepalm

He's 6'8" and kills it on the PnR. How is he the third best player on the Jazz? Gobert and Favors are shitty offensive players. Hayward is an all-around stud

[FireDavidKahn]

Hayward just gets shitted on because he is as pale as Casper the ghost. The gguy is a great player.

[Sakkreth]

He's too low if anything.

[JohnMax]

I noticed the Jazz would get blown out when Heyward did not play ( yes this even with Gobert in the lineup).

What does this have to do with race?Im outraged because he is a shitty player do you ever see me making threads about kevin love or larry bird.Ill just ignore the whiteboy accusation :kobe:

[WayOfWade]

He'll be higher next year, along with Favors and Gobert when they make some noise in the playoffs. And from what we've seen in the top 30, I would take Hayward over Mike Conley, Dirk Nowitzki, Serge Ibaka, and Damian Lillard; and that's just right now, I imagine in a year or two he'll overtake players like Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler (bit of a stretch, but I think he can do it), and Carmelo if he continues to stay injured and not winning on a horrible Knicks team.

He's their 2nd best player right now. I think Hood could pass him eventually and maybe even Exum or Lyles.


How is he the third best player on the Jazz? Gobert and Favors are shitty offensive players. Hayward is an all-around stud

Gobert is their best player and he and Favors are not shitty offensive players. Gobert made them a top team. Hayward made them a lottery team.

I wouldn't take Carmelo or Wade over him.

no i will not.

Deangelo is our asset for cousins.

[RidonKs]

he doesn't look to score enough to get 24

but he'll get close to 20

he is a great player, but i doubt the jazz make enough gains for him to stick around a few years from now when his contract ends. that team is too good to land a high pick, too lame a city to land a free agent, and just mediocre enough to contend for the 6th seed.

they need to improve at one of the guard spots. i could see dante exum work out for this team but as far as i can tell, each of the three young jazz gunners need to be paired with specialist types.

they should retool at that position by trading 2/3 of those guys away. exum has the most value. trey has looked good though. keep him and package burks and exum next winter, after giving exum plenty of playing time to showcase his talent. look for a good shooting guard to compliment hayward. they could probably get tyreke evans for a lot less. i like that guy next to hayward and a gunner at pg.

Hayward is ONLY 25 years old. So I think there is some projection going on in terms of what SI is looking at. The question with Hayward is IF he will develop into an alpha dog level scorer. Some of the elite teams ACTUALLY have two alpha dog scorers on the same team.

So at best, Hayward is a very good #2 or GREAT #3 scoring option. But anytime u are getting 19 points, 5 boards, and 5 dimes a night, u are an All Star caliber SF. If he has room to get BETTER than that (which I think he does), then that's even more gravy!

Hayward AND Gobert made them a great team. Take away Hayward and that team has 0 offense.

Exum is out for the year. Doubt he has much value right now. Burke has looked good? When? They've already got Hood. He's going to be better than Evans and maybe Hayward. Salt Lake is lame? Not sure you got much right here.

Im not a kobe fan im a kobetard.Not being racist you act like i said he doesnt doserve to be on the list because he's white or something.He is very overrated and should be around the 80's on the list not 30's

[ISHGoat]

Gordon Hayward will be a top 10 player this year.

Book it.

Playoffs. Here. We. Come

Is he really 47 spots better than a guy like Tobias Harris though?

[Bigsmoke]

The new generation of Keith Van Horn

[HoopologyPhD]

Air Gordon.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Hes the type of player who gets fmvp against a bron led team

[WayOfWade]

Is he really 47 spots better than a guy like Tobias Harris though?
Hayward: 19.3 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 4.1 APG, 1.4 SPG, .4 BPG, 2.7 TOPG, 44.5% FG, 36.4 3P%, 81.2FT%
T. Harris: 17.1 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.0 SPG, .5 BPG, 1.7 TOPG, 46.6 FG%, 36.4 3P%, 78.8 FT%
At least by looking at the stats, Harris certainly doesn't seem like a player 47 spots down from Hayward. I think that has to do more though with the fact that they placed Harris too low than Hayward too high. As for who has more upside for the future, I say Hayward only because I'm a Jazz fan, but we'll just have to wait and see. As for who is better right now, I'd say it's Hayward as well.

So where does that leave their best player Gobert?

Gobert will be #1

In my heart he is. Where can I watch France play?

In my post, I said there was SOME PROJECTION with Hayward's ranking. Which means I think he was a bit overrated in his ranking. BUT if he continues his improvement, he COULD be worthy of that spot by the end of the year. If he DOESN'T really get any better, then I think he's a bit overrated at that ranking.

In the case of Harris, he's SEVERELY underrated! I don't really have a problem with Gordon's ranking, even though I think's it a bit too high. BUT I have a much bigger issue with the ranking of Harris.

Harris is younger and REALLY fits into this new age forward in the NBA. Which is a SF who can ALSO play as an undersized PF. Hayward is more like your old school swingman kind of player.

[stalkerforlife]

Hayward is a great defender.

You have to account for that.

Agreed! Even though Hayward is the better player, I think they really underrated Harris. But since Gordon is already getting DAMN CLOSE to 20 pts-5 dimes-5 board, u are deserving to be a top 40 caliber player. Even though I think he Hayward was a bit overrated.
