Utah Jazz rookie Gordon Hayward has averaged 23 minutes in Utah's first 2 games. That is the most of any of the Jazz's reserves.
The Breakdown
Hayward looks to be one of the rookies getting regular playing time right from the start. He fits in very well with the Jazz's style and head coach Jerry Sloan seems to be impressed with him. While Hayward's stats have not been eye-popping, the fact that he is getting good minutes in the rotation is certainly a positive. As the season progresses, Hayward should continue to develop as a player and put up better lines.
