I was pretty hard on Ed Davis for leaving Carolina after two seasons, but I think this was a smart move for Hayward. Gordon and the Butler Bulldogs had their fun, and now it's time to go pro before something terrible can happen to his draft stock. Unlike Ed, he has proven all he needs to prove. Ed Davis hasn't proven shit. He hasn't shown that he can lead a team to victory as the focal point in the offense. Yeah, he won a national championship, but he was the garbage man who was 2nd off the bench. Hayward put a tiny mid major program on his scrawny white shoulders and carried them all the way to the last 2 seconds of the national championship game. Who wouldn't want a guy like that on their team. He's a 6'8" small forward with guard-like handles because of that 8 inch growth spurt he had in one, probably painful, year in high school. He can shoot, rebound, and pass with anyone his size and has an unbelievably high basketball IQ. I'm excited to see what he can do in the pros.
