Gordon Hayward of the Charlotte Hornets doesn’t get as much media attention as he used to but he is still a valued part of his team.
A rash of injuries has slowed him down and he isn’t close to the player he once was.
But he’s still known for his expert command of the court and his ability to lead a team and shoot well from beyond the arc.
He is also known for his good looks and suave haircut.

Well, he is usually known for that.
Hayward recently showed off his new hairstyle and it’s got people talking – and most of them are not giving very favorable reviews of his look.
This style is radically different from what we have seen before and it’s certainly unique.
Of course, his haircut doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
All that matters is how Hayward performs for his Hornets in the new season because they need all the help they can get.
Hayward’s Hair
Maybe Hayward’s radical new cut is the sort of change he needs to shake him up and get him back into the game again.
The forward scored 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists during 2021-22, although he was only a part of 49 games for his Hornets.
Charlotte would love Hayward to play like his former self because they have been struggling, even with the addition of fresh, new All-Star LaMelo Ball.
The team hasn’t been to the postseason in years and they will likely stumble and struggle again in 2022-23.
However, if Hayward rebounds and Ball stays healthy (the fact that he’s already hurt is concerning) then they could sneak into the play-in tournament or maybe become an attractive destination for a free agent.
If the season ahead is rough for the Hornets then Hayward’s haircut won’t be the only thing getting critiqued by fans.
