Must have had one too many whiskeys while writing this. Or it could have had something to do with Hayward dropping monster blocks whenever he plays my Dubs, who make all of the opposition look better than they actually are. Either way, I agree that 0.8 is more a realistic and sober prediction.

A five point bump in Ast% set next to a 2.5 bump in USG% while actually dropping his TOV% by 3.5 points makes it looks like he’s figuring shizz out at the NBA level. Or he got lucky, but lets let that narrative meme go for now. I think he’s got more room for 3′s and points as his USG% rises, but possibly at the risk of further losses in FG% (his eFG% and TS% both dropped last year with higher usage, so the risk is there if his usage rises again).

I’m not sold on a huge bump in Blk though. He improved incrementally, but he doesn’t strike me as a 1+ Blk guy. He never blocked more than a shot a game in college, and I’d normally expect that at the NCAA level before I expect it in the NBA. I think it’s more reasonable to optimistically predict something like .8 per and go home happy.
