True low post big man, speedy point guard, dynamic slasher/shooter to play the wing.

Duncan, Parker, ginobili.

Favors, Harris, Hayward.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Add in some picks comparable to the Hayward pick or better, then get out of the way.

I don't see it. I think you're taking the Hayward/Ginobili thing too far. Now, if Hayward kills a bat (not you) in the middle of a game, we'll revisit this...

From the SL Tribune, Brian T. Smith asked Corbin about Hayward:

Corbin on Hayward's ability to play shooting guard for Utah in the future: He's versatile in all those areas. He can hit the 3-point shot ― he can certainly step up and shoot some. He's a capable shooter. He's demonstrated that in practice and some of the games we've played in of late. His versatility would be one thing. You can put the ball in his hands some and he can handle in the pick-and-roll. He can also bring the ball up and relieve the pressure off the point guard at times. He can initiate the offense some. His versatility at the one, two and three will be key for us going forward. Also, defensively he can play different guys ― he should be able to play smaller guys and bigger guys, and he'll have to learn the difference between his length at times, his athletic ability at times and the difference between the two. So, I think he have a lot of room to grow. I think he's gotten better as the year's gone forward. And I think he will continue to get better with minutes on the floor, and that's what we're looking for at this point in the season.
