[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 541154, member: 4289"] Advanced statistics be damned, if you believe that Haywood is the second most valuable contributor on the team, that's insane. If Okogie was going to replace anyone of the 5 you named, it would (should) be Haywood and not Devoe. Haywood plays the passing lanes pretty well on defense, usually resulting in several steals per game; other than that, his on ball defense is average or weaker; his rebounding is average; it could be good because of his length, but he is a lazy rebounder so it isn't good; and like it or not, he isn't a threat to score. As far as scoring goes, he can only be viewed as a streaky 3 point shooter who could go off and hurt opponents if he gets hot and is left open, but is more likely to be easily kept in check by opponents. Personally, I don't think he is a ACC starter material, but he could be much better than he has shown this season. He could be a strong role player to 6th man award level player if he could get his head right and if he and the coaches could understand how to use his skills in the game. He has to expand his useful skill set to include rebounding and scoring 2 pointers and foul shots off the dribble, because is not proving to be the reliable spot up 3 point shooter that he was billed to be.
