Meet
G-Hay, Rolestar™
Posted by: KCJones on December 13th, 2012
The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.You heard right. Rolestar™ – you heard it here first. It’s the guy who steps up and performs an integral part to their team winning by filling that role.
Now, we have a team full of Rolestars™, and we have to get their contribution in order to win. But today, in honor of Gordon Hayward’s huge Rolestar™ game last night, this post is to highlight him and one of his undermentioned skills: getting back on defense on the breakaway dunk and blocking the shot!
Enjoy these sweet videos of G-Hay doing just that, including last night’s block against Gary Neal:
And against Chris Paul:
And against the Warriors:
And a DOUBLE block against the Celtics:
And against Jamal Crawford:
Gordon Hayward just might make the jump from Rolestar™ to All-Star to Superstar and maybe even to greatest white player to ever play. We’ll see. At least we get to go along for the ride. Go Jazz!

Great post! Loved the videos. He is such a well rounded player and he’s only getting better! I loved the block last night, His dad tweeted how he got caught looking away then made up for it with the block of the night!
Best thing about Hayward yesterday was… U see him defend Parker last shots… u see him as a pg? u see him on midcourt plays??? it´s nice to see him on that position… i hate Watson because I dont know why he plays over Tinsley, but this is a solution, he defends he´s very smart, hes a passer… people dont talk about it… forget sg experiment on Hayward, leave on bench then.
Nice to see yestarday game really, I believe in this team.
G-Town. Kid’s got insane hustle. A great player to have on your team. Just a little bit more consistency…He’s almost there. By the end of this season I think his numbers are going to shoot up.
I think Hayward is progressing quite well.
Usually players start by having one good game and then a couple of bad games, and so on. You want them to eventually have one bad game and then a couple good games. Ultimately, a ton of good games and a bad one less and less.
If Jazz don’t lock-up Hayward as a career Jazzman, they need to get their head checked.
Its not a coincidence that Hayward looks the best and is fulfilling his potential—he has the most and consistent minutes. If all the Core Fore got that kind of minutes playing time, theyd all be looking that good. There is a reason they all were lottery picks.
Total regular season minutes
Hayward: 3866 (rookie year 1218; 2nd year 2007)
Favors: 3319 (rookie year 1535; 2nd year 1384)
Kanter: 1226 (rookie year 874)
Burks: 1033 (rookie 939)
DNP Watson, please.
Hes doing great off the bench yeah hes not the starter but that is because he is a great focal point for the offense to go through. i have seen huge strides this year in his game he is very well rounded once next year comes around the offense will run through him a lot more.. he need to be locked up long term
I think it would help out a ton if he worked on his ball handling. Other than that he is a great all around player and underrated defender.
Gordon Hayward is NOT a veteran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
