Bio

Hayward's appeared in 77 NBA games -- five of them during a postseason run with the Thunder in 2011-12 -- since leaving Marquette, and now looks like one of the NBA D-League's best bets to go up next. He'll need to improve his quickness and defense to compliment a lethal long-range game (and rescue him from Tweenerdom), but he's as talented as a player you'll find outside the NBA.
