COMMENTARY
Gordon Hayward is strikingly tall. When removed from the context of other even taller people, it’s easy to look at him and think you never realized how tall he really is.
That makes what Hayward used to be, and the player he’s trying to become again, ridiculously impressive. No humans the size of these NBA giants should move the way they do, but seeing the full scale of Hayward and remembering all the things he did on the court makes you appreciate how special he was.
Hayward is currently struggling to turn that past tense present again.
