I do think we are somewhat to blame. There is zero faith in the kid. We kept picking up guys to block him and not develop him. I don't know what was put in place to mentor or challenge him. But raw or not, if you're taken you top 10, you have to contribute by year 2 and play significantly by year 3. Anything less than that is a big letdown..

The next great talent that we develop will be the first one in a decade (Since Davis?). We are horrible at it. That's why everyone is so excited about Jones and his potential. It's just not something we are good at.
If you take someone top 10 and want them to succeed, you have to play them. It will probably be a struggle. But that's how players get better. Instead, in 3 years we have added new starters at the same position every year.
Hayes can't play PF. He is a Center. If Favors, Adams, Val are going to play 30+mpg and we go small a lot, he just isn't going to get much of an opportunity.
Also the idea that you can develop him off the bench is just flawed. Lots of starters become poo when moved to the bench and even more vice versa. The fact he isn't a good back up has little bearing on if he could be a solid starter. Obviously he hasn't shown enough in practice to beat out those guys we signed/got in trades. But it's still a flawed practice.
