Gordon Hayward’s return this season adds to the Boston Celtics already sky-high expectations. Despite obviously missing the entirety of last season, he has proven during the last few seasons that he is an all-star level talent when healthy. Even when factoring in Hayward’s past accomplishments, it is hard to determine what the Celtics should expect from him. It is important that the team and the fans stay patient with Gordon, especially during the beginning of this new season.
As far as statistics go, it is hard to predict what he will average. Anywhere from 21-16 points per game seems realistic.
