He has been so steady. Superb addition to our success as a team.

Hope his body/foot hold up, he is so good on so many levels, we need this version in the playoffs. I know 2 J’s are so looking forward to making a statement in playoffs, if GH can play like this in playoffs, he’s our X factor and we will have a very deep playoff run....

it's good to see the Utah version of Hayward now. He gives us FOUR scorers for teams to have to try to stop.

I can't think of any other team in the NBA who has that many true scorers.

It isn't just his scoring that is so impressive, he handles he ball so well, distributes the ball to his fellow players, rebounds, blocks out, plays excellent defense. I feel so deprived that he had to go thru so much to show everyone how good he really is. I wanted it right away. Another smart guy on our team, this is the way you build winners

Hi,
Yes, GH is doing great (in 34 games), in some categories even better than in '16-'17. But what I'm smiling really wide is his defense. Knock on wood.

I agree, we lost two seasons of Gordan Hayward's prime. I hope that he resigns with the Celtics when his next contract is due.

Rozier is still yapping about the coaching staff's focus on getting Hayward up to speed last season. I saw another article just last week.

When will Terry realize that he will NEVER have the one tenth of the talent, money or respect that Gordan has?

If Hayward is finally at the end of the injury/bad luck streak, we're going to have more outstanding wings than the Anchor Bar* in Buffalo.

You all know how I feel about Gordon.  He is the most complete player on this team.  He is the most unselfish player on this team.  His presence has a profound impact on how far this team can go

My hope is that his foot soreness does not flare up.

Hayward is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta due to a sore left foot.

Just to put a little more meat on the bones of this discussion.

(Not including the season he blew out his ankle)

FG%-------------------------------51.2%------highest of his career

3pt FG%---------------------------38.4%------4th highest (only took 74 in rookie year, but hit 47.3%.  He has already taken 138 this year)

3pt FGAs/36mpg------------------4.5----------tied for 4th most in career

2pt FGAs/36mpg------------------10.1---------3rd highest

2pt FG%---------------------------56.9%-------highest of career

FT%--------------------------------87.8%-------highest of career

FTAs/36mpg-----------------------2.7-----------lowest of career.  He's not getting to the line.  Strange given how many 2pt fgas he takes

Rebounds/36mpg-----------------7.1-----------highest of career

Offensive Rebounds/36mpg------1.1-----------tied for 2nd highest of career (highest was 1.2, rookie year)

eFG%------------------------------57.1%-------highest of career

Assists/36mpg--------------------4.4-----------3rd highest of career (5.1 in '13-'14, 4.7 last year)

Blocks/36mpg---------------------.5------------tied for 2nd highest (2 years @ .7, .5 in '13-14)

Points/36mpg---------------------19.0----------4th highest of career (22.9 his all-star year, 20.1 '14-15, 19.6 '15-16)

The reason why I rely so heavily upon /36mpg stats is because they highlight efficiency.  The same player (especially playing on the same team, in the same system, for the same coach, although that is not so true with Gordon specifically) can be judged by what he does for every minute he's on the court and not just look good because he plays a ton of minutes and gets tons more fgas etc because of that (see Butler, Jimmy).

Brad and Danny really knew what they were getting with Gordon. Until he sustained what could have been a career ending injury. So glad he is BACK!
