Here’s a question for you: can Gordon Hayward be the centerpiece on a championship-caliber team?
Trick question! If you even considered for half of a second you have been victimized by my trickery. There is no way, in this universe or in any of the untold alternate universes where dudes have two dicks, that G-Ward could hold such a position. No way.
Don’t let that fact get you down, Jazz fans. He’s still a really good player, slowly improving despite the weight of the entire offense being placed on his shoulders. He could make some All-Star games, I can totally see that. But if you want to win a chip, you’ll have to find someone better. Maybe Dante Exum is that guy?
Another trick question! Dante Exum is a bust, now and forever. Do not pin your hopes on him, else you find them drifting once again into the black abyss created by the departure of Malone and Stockton.
