Gordon Hayward: Is he the future of the Jazz, or just another average wing player?
Hayward's first season was a little shaky, he had alot of DNP (Did not play) at the start of the season, which is normal for rookies in the Utah Jazz system. It takes them awhile to figure out what exactly they are supposed to be doing. He began to figure it out at the end of the season and ended starting some games, at this point we saw the true potential of Gordon Hayward
His second season he began the season starting, which everyone kind of expected. Once again at the start of the season he started slow, but ended the season on fire to get his FG% up to a quality starters. He ended the season averaging 30 minutes per game, but was a little timid in the games and you could tell.
Going into his third season everyone wanted Hayward to be more aggressive, take some more shots and not to be scared to do what he wants. He came into the season doing exactly that, he is taking more shots and has the ball more then ever, but up to this point he hasn't shot to well. I expect this to get better throughout the season, the last two years he has started out slow and finished hot. If he does this he will be a 15 PPG (point per game) scorer at age 23. This is a very positive thing, because there are alot of questions marks for next season. Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap and Marvin Williams could potentially go to other teams, that is a lot of shots opening up for Hayward. So this year he needs to establish that he can be a go to scorer.
