Gestern wurde der USA Roster etwas getrimmt und Hayward ist noch dabei - das steigert seine Chancen bei der WM dabei zu sien enorm wie ich finde. Würde ihn gern bei der WM sehen und sicherlich tut das Hayward und damit auch den Jazz gut wenn er diese Erfahrung mitmacht bei den großen Jungs. Bei den kleinen war er ja schon dabei.
Edit: (So eine hinterhältige Frage bezüglich GH)
Q. Mike, Gordon Hayward and Mason Plumlee are two guys that might be a little bit of a surprise getting through this first cut. What did you see in them that convinced you to bring them back to Chicago and keep them in the program at least for a little while longer, and are they two guys that were, for lack of a better term, helped by George's absence or anything as far as getting a spot past the first cut?
MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: Well, I think Gordon has been a part of our program, and this isn't the first time we've had a chance to work with him. He's one of the really good young players in the league. He's very versatile.
With Paul's injury, losing a guy who is an All‑Star at 6'8", Gordon is 6'8", also, you have to look ‑‑ that doesn't mean he wouldn't have gone forward anyway, but you look at him even closer.
But his versatility is really something that we like, and toughness. He had a good scrimmage, too, on Friday night.
Edit2:
Q. Coach, I was just wondering what are some of the things that you've seen out of Gordon's game and what improvements do you think he's made overall this season or since you've last had him?
MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: Well, I love his versatility and the fact he's 6'8" and he's strong. I think he's more decisive, stronger, and he's a better player, and I think he will continue to grow. Just like all these guys, they've got a chance to make this team, but as far as with his own team, I think with the coaching change, I think Quin will be really good for him in helping him improve even more. He can become even a better player because he's still a young guy and wants to. But we like him a lot, and I like his future, especially working with Coach Snyder.
