Hardaway was 7th in 3s made last year. Hayward was 119. Even if you go with Haywards total his final year in Utah he is at 50th.
That's a big drop off in shooting even tho Hayward is a very solid and capable shooter. He won't shoot at the same volume.
With the amount of open looks Luka generates the drop in shooting isn't nothing. And outside of the all star year for Hayward more volume hasn't led to efficiency for him from 3.
All that being said, I think Hayward is the better player when healthy clearly. But I think they are in the same range of each other.
And that's not even bringing contracts into it.
I'm just evaluating on recent history. GH has given me no reason to think he ever returns to prime Utah days.
