I too was a preseason Hayward off the Bench proponent but the game last night is not exactly vindicating anything. I actually now think that Brown should be playing off the bench but it is still not clear who that 5th starter should be. Baynes is just not that good. Neither is Theis, Ojeleye, Yabusele, or Williams. Morris could start but he is not really a big and seems to be well suited to come off the bench.
I don't know the answer. I think the team will collectively shoot better and that will make a lot of things look better but we need another starting caliber big. Then keep two bigs on the floor as much as possible (or at least a big and Morris) and let Hayward, Brown, and Tatum share the wing minutes, maybe taking turns as to who starts.
