I'd see Hayward getting minutes at SF and as a smallball 4, similar to how Gomes got minutes last year, but on a smaller scale. Although there's still whatever Jefferson brings in to sort out in that lineup. I doubt it will be a consistent strict 9 man all year.
Just seems like they went out of their way to acquire him by taking him so early. That would be an odd move if he isn't a rotational type.
