Me too. I am hoping he has a Paul Pierce like career, but I wish he were a few inches taller.
He's an average player. That's what average players make. Spencer Hawes is going to make almost $6 million next year.

The lack of self-awareness is just incredible.Thanks for the laughs. Your indignation is about approximately $1M of an NBA salary. We have a margin of error disagreement and you are making into a war.
This is hilarious and shows your pettiness. Thanks for playing.
He's not like Pierce. Paul Pierce was always a physical presence. Hield is a better shooter but not as strong.
I agree that Hield is going to score a lot and be a really good pro.
Maybe a different Pierce then - my main man Ricky Pierce circa Seattle Sonics 1990-1993, or other Sonics shooters Dale Ellis OR - most boring shooter of all time - Hersey Hawkins.
Not going to predict draft busts, but I do think there are few players who will outperform their draft spot (a la Porzingis and Lillard): Buddy Hield, Henry Ellenson, Denzel Valentine, Forkan Korkmaz, Brice Johnson, Gary Payton Jr., Malcolm Brogdon, Aj Hammons, Michael Gbinji, Cat Barber, and Jake Layman
next Niky Shooter potential?
Dude. My main man Ricky Pierce started for about 10 years, averaged over 20pts a game for at least 6 years. You are talking to serious Sonics homer here as as a young buck I lived in Seattle during the Rain Man and GP's reign. Pierce was a starter in Milwaukee traded to Seattle (I think perhaps for Dale Ellis) who started in Milwaukee and then for a few years in Seattle before he hit his early 30s.
Know your Pierces! I always say.
Apparently you don't know much about Ricky Pierce. In his 16 season NBA career, Ricky only started as many as 50% of his team's games THREE times. (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/piercri01.html). I'm guessing three is still less than ten.
Also he only 20ppg three times. Is that still less than six?
Oh yeah, two of those three years were as sixth man.
The lack of self-awareness is just incredible.
8 mil a year is pretty solid under this cap. #12 should be shit.
The money isn't really the issue, but the Jazz aren't going to compete next year anyways, so why not go high-risk, high-reward at the #12 pick and spend a fraction of that? It's not like you're locking up your back-up PG for the next several years or anything.
