Hayward's next workout is scheduled for Sunday for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Next week, he'll take part in the NBA pre-draft camp in Chicago and then a regional workout hosted by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He said he also has workouts scheduled with the San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Clippers, and will also take part in another regional workout hosted by the New Jersey Nets.

We already have a better version of this guy in Hairston. No thanks.

There's definitely a family resemblance there.

I would love for the Spurs to get this guy in the 2nd round. He's better than Hairston. Can shoot the 3 and can even battle in the paint as he played a lot of 4 even 5 at Marquette. He's an intelligent mature guy. Also, his athletic numbers at the combine are good.

I've only seen him play twice, both times he was going off from 3, dude was knocking down all his shots. I think they said he's played with a bunch of different players throughout his time there but remained consistent.

Hayward will also see the Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks and San Antonio Spurs for the second time.

He will have a second workout with Spurs. Ryan Thompson also worked out twice with Spurs. Maybe Spurs will take a wing at #49 and do something surprising with their first round pick...

Spurs will definitely like him as a person. likeable, intelligent, humble.
undersized, but as mentioned, albatross wingspan. (almost 7'1''). should be able to play as big as the average 6-7 and 6-8 SFs. athletic tests have been better than expected IMO. (he was always branded unathletic, but a vertical of 31/36 is pretty decent, so are the agility time and the bench)
he is definitely close to what Hairston offers. if they pick him, Hairston will be gone.
