Hard to know. He only averaged about ten minutes per game played in Detroit - seven minutes in Charlotte (appeared in more games with Detroit than with Charlotte). Hayes averages just under sixteen minutes, but played in three times the number of games.

If I only have one shot for a three to win the game, I'd rather have Hayes out there (assuming the rest of the team has fouled out). If I need somebody to stop the other team I'd rather have Walt. If I need somebody to create a shot on their own, between the two, I'll hope next year is better.
