Which white NBA player will have the better career?

Needs a poll, but I think Gordon will be better.

 

Yao Ming.

 

Hayward.

 

Sergio Llull

I think the comparisons have to be among white American players. For whatever reason, white players from Europe and S. America have been much more successful in the NBA than white American players over the last two decades.

 

Dirk Nowitzki

 

Chandler Parsons

 

LeBron James

 

Ray Allens' Grandson

 

the j*zz is going to explode with their surplus of young talent.
They should trade us a center, i'll take mehmet at this point.

 

To Answer the OP; Gordon Hayward, the kid surprise me last year, I thought the Jazz reached for him in the 2010 NBA Draft. But I was wrong, the Kid turned out better then I thought he was going to be.

Getting off topic, a bit: Utah, has one very interesting young team. Specially with the additions of Enes Kanter and Alec Burks. Its well balanced young team... specially if they decide to go young with their starting lineup -

PG Harris - 28
SG Burks - 20
SF Hayward - 21
PF Favors - 20
C Kanter - 19

The front line of Favors and Kanter is very intriguing. Both compliment each other's games very well. Favors is an athletic physical specimen, that can block/alter shots as well as rebound on the defensive end. While Kanter has a great offensive arsenal in the low post, as well as a developing face game with range. Also if they decide to young they have some major trade assets in Milsap and Jefferson to trade for a another stud.

I really hate to say this, but the way that Utah has rebuilt that roster with the reinsertion of young top end talent in such a short period of time ... needs to be commended ... sigh

 

I'm slightly curious as to what the cap situation is for them.. trade devin harris and a few other large contracts and you never know how insane that team could be.

 

Outside of the young core, Milsap is the only positive asset Utah has to trade. Nobody really wants Al Jefferson at 2yrs/$29MM. They should keep Devin Harris because his contract isn't too crazy. Their team is so young it will be very tough for a couple of seasons. They have to hope one or two of their youngsters develop into stars, but I don't see either a Durant or Westbrook in the bunch. Nevertheless, Jazz fans have a lot to look forward to.

 

Fredette = Adam Morrison 2.0

 

Where's the poll? Gordon will have the better career.

 

Chase Budinger is a better scorer than Hayward, better rebounder, the same in assists with even less turnovers. More athletic.
Hayward is the better shooter and more guttier player. Hayward's a couple years younger.

With Hayward, future projections are good. With Budinger, he's a tradeable asset who Chandler Parsons has already made expendable.

I won't totally sleep on Jimmer. He might be "Shane Heal" (you gotta be an old basketball junkie to know that one). But he can also be given the keys to the team and the city and be allowed to chuck up shots to his hearts content. But Sacramento mighta learned their lesson when they had Tyreke do that and alienate the team.

 

Hayward showed a lot of promise last season.

 

Is Hayward as bad a defender?
