It’s becoming increasingly unfair. The amount of blame being placed at Gordon Hayward’s feet this season is incredible. Basketball is a team game. There are fifteen players committed to the roster and a team’s issues should rarely be placed at just one player’s feet.
While it’s understandably frustrating to watch a former All-Star struggle one night and excel the next, one must keep in mind that there are other factors at play. Hayward does not pick and choose who he shares the floor with, nor would you guess that he has a say in the offensive scheme going into games.
