wikipedia said his defense isn't that good. he's more of a scorer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarvis_Hayes This true?
So I'm getting my crash course in Hayes to augment my spotty experience watching him. Nothing terribly encouraging so far. This article seems typical: http://www.emptythebench.com/2008/03/19/a-...s-jarvis-hayes/
This is purely bench depth. If he is playing more than 15-20 MPG, that's not good. He's a nice, reliable player. He's got good size and he can score - especially against second units. I think if he got all the wide open threes Boki got he would have shot 45%. Don't go crazy though, he's earned his career shooting percentage of 40%.
I'm good with this signing. I've always liked Hayes and he can definitely provide a little scoring spark off the bench.
I liked Hayes coming out of college. Always thought he'd do better than he has. There's been some flashes. Hopefully he's a late bloomer. I'm down with the signing. Good bench depth. Hopefully it's a nice reasonable deal and doesn't keep us from getting a good back-up pg.

I think the Nets are a good destination for wing players trying to prove something. I'm sure his agent was very amenable.
The Nets are throwing things against the wall and seeing what sticks. I like that approach for a team that knows its not ready to compete yet. You guys are probably losing some more outside shooting with this exchange though (I know a lot of you complain about that already).
