    if Hayward never left Utah they would be ridiculously scary with that defense of theirs. Hayward is exactly the type of player they need right now to help them take it to the next level

    Imagine how good they'd be if Rubio could shoot. They'd be so damn dangerous. He can get any shot he wants...but he can't make them.

    He was quite impressive this series
    Even without a shot he got to the basket at will

    These are the teams that matter

    GS
    Hou
    Mil
    Tor

    Are all tier 1

    Utah
    Den
    Phi
    Por
    Bos

    Are all tier 2

    You could make a case that Utah was a top 5 team, and by far the toughest opponent of any of the teams that matter.

    He's open because he can't shoot.

    True to an extent. I've never really watched him closely before this series. I was very impressed by his handles. He can get to and create space well. But you are right, too. They did leave him often to shoot.
