Hayward expects to play the stretch-four in certain situations this season, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

With Quinn Snyder replacing Tyrone Corbin as the head coach, Hayward expects to see his role with the team expand. While the vast majority of his minutes will likely come at shooting guard and small forward, he could slide up to the power forward spot in certain situations, like if Enes Kanter or Derrick Favors are in foul trouble. Hayward played just four percent of his minutes at power forward last season, per Basketball-Reference, but he's bulked up this summer in anticipation of that number rising.
