Sam Presti admitted that he “missed” on the Gordon Hayward midseason acquisition at his end-of-the-season news conference on Tuesday.
“I missed on that. That’s on me. But I’m learning, I’m trying to learn this team, I’m trying to learn the pace of the team a little bit,” said Presti.
Hayward averaged 5.3 points in 17.2 minutes during his time with the Thunder.
Hayward described his time with the Thunder as ‘disappointing’ last week.Â
“I don’t think I read that one perfect, and I’m learning from that in terms of bringing somebody midseason and especially early on in the process for our team,” added Presti.
